Unemployment in the United States hit seven-point-two percent in December, the highest level in 15 years. That is a sharp four-tenths of a percent increase over the prior month.

美國去年12月份的失業率達到7.2%,創15年來的新高。12月份的失業率比11月份猛增了0.4%

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

four-tenths of a percent 無法一眼就了解,再細想才明白:

原來 four-tenths 就是十分之四,等於 4/10,小數點等於 0.4

percent 是百分比 %,連起來是十分之四用百分比表示,

就是百分之零點四。

more examples:

It says advanced economies will shrink by about one-tenths of a percent next year.

據說各先進經濟體明年的經濟規模將縮減大約 0.1 %
