问了一位美国朋友，似乎很为难，不过说可以问：
What number does Bill Clinton's presidency have?
她说回答可以是：He is the 42nd president.

Also try "What number president is Clinton in the US history". 用这一格式还可以问“你是你们家老几？”

谢谢两位的解答.美国朋友感到为难可能是因为他们一般不会这么问.

听说native speaker会问:"How many presidents were there before Clinton?"
By the way, how to translate "native speaker" into Chinese?
另外,关于 "你是你们家的老几?" 的译法,词典上有 "Where do you come in the family?" 看来挺口语化.

native speaker 是否可以翻译成 说本族语的人？

确切地说，是否应该是“克林顿是第几届美国总统？”？

久违，各位。没错，美国人一般不这么问，但是如果一定要用“第几”来回答，我会这么问。。。
