我认为按照中文的语速 零一 零二 零三地数大概就是一秒了 一千零一的话似乎读得太快了

<p>In English individual seconds can be counted by <code>n + one-thousand</code>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>one one-thousand<br>
  two one-thousand<br>
  three one-thousand [...]</p>
</blockquote>

<p>These terms are not easily found in any dictionaries though, any ideas?</p>

<p>How are individual seconds counted in Chinese?</p>

These terms are not easily found in any dictionaries though, any ideas?
