又一份"性感明星"排行出炉！来自墨西哥的塞尔玛·海耶克以65%的支持率名列第一，成为美国民众眼中最性感的名人。25岁的碧昂丝·诺里斯和40岁的哈里·贝瑞的得票率并列第五；贝尔与42岁的伊拉莎白·赫利、66岁的拉奎尔·韦尔奇并列第九。



外电报道如下：Sin City star Jessica Alba, 26, claimed second place, while Beyonce Knowles, 25, and Halle Berry , 40, were placed joint fifth.



Alba, Knowles and 25-year-old Jessica Biel - who came joint ninth - were the only women in their 20s to make the top 40.



报道中的joint fifth和joint ninth指的就是"并列第五"和"并列第九"。Joint一词我们都很熟悉，意为"共同的；共享的"，它的英文解释是sharing with another or others。可见，joint fifth直译过来就是"共同的第五；共享的第五"，也就是通常所说的"并列第五"。



同理，"并列第几"就可用joint+序数词来表达。
