英语倍数?那么,英语倍数?一起来了解一下吧。
这是比较常见且简单的一种表达倍数的句型。需要注意的是,as...as...中间用many还是much要取决于名词的数,即名词是可数还是不可数。例如:
My sister claimed to have twice as much money as me.(我姐姐说她的钱是我的二倍。)
I have twice as many stamps as yours.(我的邮票是你的两倍。)
这类用法中的size可表示大小、型号,weight表示重量,age表示年龄等。特别提示:无论是几倍谓语动词都用单数。例如:
The elephant is five times the weight of tiger.(大象的体重是老虎的5倍。)
than有比较的意思,它一般和比较级搭配使用。对于不能直接变形为比较级的词可以用more来帮助完成。例如:
This hall seats three times more people than that one.(这个大厅容纳的人数是那个大厅的3倍。)
例如:
The population of China is larger than that of the US by over 6 times.(中国的人口是美国的6倍。)这里的that指代前面提到的population(人口)。
The line is longer than that one by twice.(这个绳子是那根的两倍长。)
表示“是……的几倍”,包括自己本身在内,如果译增加多少倍,则是增加“N - 1”倍。例如:
The earth is forty - nine times the size of the moon.(地球是月亮大小的49倍。)
This year's number of registered marathon participants is half of last year's.(今年登记参加马拉松的人数是去年的一半。)
例如:
He’s twice her size(= much bigger than she is).(他的块头抵她两个。)
At 56 he’s twice her age.(他56岁,年龄比她大一倍。)
例如:
The value of the house is double what it was.(这幢房子的价值比原来翻了一番。)
He eats twice what you eat/twice the amount that you eat.(他的食量比你大一倍。)
例如:
During the past five years, the number of traffic accidents has more than doubled.(在过去的5年里,交通事故的数量增加了1倍多。)
以上就是英语倍数的全部内容。
