In spoken British English, nought is much more common than zero. ...from nought to 60 in a fraction of one second. As a number, zero is used mainly in scientific contexts, or when you want to be precise. However, when you are stating a telephone number, you say o (/əʊ/). In some sports contexts, especially in football scores, nil is used. England beat Poland two-nil at Wembley. In tennis, love is the usual word. ...a two-games-to-love lead.

英国英语口语中，nought 比 zero 常见得多：from nought to 60 in a fraction of one second (瞬间从0到60)。作为数字，zero主要用于科学语境和表示精确意义的时候。但是说到电话号码时，用o (/əʊ/)。涉及体育运动，尤其是足球比赛比分时，用 nil：England beat Poland two-nil at Wembley (英格兰队在温布利以2比0战胜波兰队)。网球比赛中，常用 love 表示零分：a two-games-to-love lead (局分2比0领先)。
