解释Explanation
“第”放在数词前面，表示次序：第一、第二、第三……。后面常常有量词和名词：第一个人、第三本书。“第二”和“两”不一样：“两个”说数量，“第二个”说次序。“题”前面可以不用量词：第一题。
Put 第 in front of a number to make an ordinal: 第一 "first", 第二 "second", 第三 "third"... A measure word and noun usually follow: 第一个人 "the first person", 第三本书 "the third book". Some nouns such as 题 and 天 can follow directly: 第一题 "question one", 第二天 "the second day / the next day". Note: always 第二 for order, even though you say 两个 for quantity. 两个人 is "two people"; 第二个人 is "the second person".
