你真的知道该怎么读“0”么？

Usually we have the following five ways to say 0 in English.  They are: Oh, Zero, Love, Nought, and Nil.

1. We say “Oh”, when
(I)   after a decimal point
       For example,
       5.02    five point oh two
(II)  in telephone numbers.
       For example,
       64479090    six double four seven nine oh nine oh

(V)  in years
       For example,
      1908    nineteen oh eight
*However, the year 2000 is said the year two thousand;
                  the year 2001 is said two thousand and one;
                  the year 2015 is said two thousand and fifteen or twenty fifteen.

2.  We say “nought”, when “0” is before the decimal point.
     For example,
     0.309   nought point three oh nine

诀窍就是保持谦虚的态度，然后审视你的勇气。我所做的每一个正确的决定，我曾经做过的所有正确的决定，都来自于我的勇气。而每一个错误的决定都是因为我没有听从我内心更响亮的声音。
                                               
                                                      --奥普拉·温弗瑞（美国著名脱口秀主持人）


The phrase is used to advise someone to be humble, be courteous and be modest.
For example,
The trick is to learn to check your ego at the door and start checking your gut instead. Every right decision I've made—every right decision I've ever made—has come from my gut. And every wrong decision I've ever made was a result of me not listening to the greater voice of myself. （by Oprah Winfrey）
