So the short answer is, we created words for 11 and 12 a long time ago by calling them "one left after ten" and "two left after ten." They were more useful to us than the higher numbers, so we said them more and they became a habit that we couldn't shake.
所以,简单说来,人们很久以前创造出“十余一”和“十余二”这样的用语来表示11和12。比起更大的数字,11和12更为有用,所以我们说的也多,因为这已成为习惯难以改变。
