True: Zhèshì wǔ wàn línɡ bā měi yuán.
这是 五万零八 美元。In a big number with more than one “0” juxtaposed, only one is pronounced. The sentence should be read as 五万零八块钱.2、 He has lived in the hospital for about 14 days.False: Tā yǐjīnɡ zhùyuàn shí sì jǐ tiān le他 已经 住院 十四几 天了。True: Tā yǐjīnɡ zhùyuàn shísìwǔtiān le.
