英语中的有些数词在汉译时可以等值翻译。但是，也有不少数词在汉译中不能等值翻译，或者完全不译出来。这种翻译处理方法是为了使汉译句子能符合汉语的表达习惯。以下分别举例说明。

1. 等值翻译：

a drop in the ocean沧海一粟

within a stone’s throw一箭之遥

kill two birds with one stone一箭双雕/一石二鸟

A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.吃一堑，长一智。

2. 不等值翻译：

at sixes and sevens乱七八糟

on second thoughts再三考虑

by ones and twos两两地，零零落落地

Two heads are better than one.三个臭皮匠胜过诸葛亮。

―can you come down a little?你能便宜点吗？

―Sorry, it’s one price for all.对不起，不二价。

He had one over the eight after drinking only half a bottle of wine.他才喝了半瓶酒就醉得七歪八倒了。

3. 不必译出

萝卜青菜，各有所爱。

I’ll love you three score and ten.我会一辈子爱你的。 (three score and ten不常用）

Ten to one he has forgotten it.很可能他已经忘了。

His mark in math is second to none in the class.

他的数学成绩在班上是数一数二的。
