英语倍数表达法•原文“increased3times/folds”,“increasedby3times”,“increaseto3times”以及“increasebyafactorof3”,均应译为“增加到3倍”,或者“增加2倍”,而不应译为“增加3倍”。原文“Ais3timesasgreat(long,much,…)asB”,“Ais3timesgreater(longer,more,…)thanB”,“Ais3timesthesize(length,amount,…)ofB”,均应译为;“A的大小(长度,数量,……)是B的3倍”,或者“A比B大(长,多,……)2倍”,而不应译为“A比B大(长,多,……)3倍”。•倍数减少问题。原文“decrease3times/folds”;“decreaseby3times”;“decreasebyafactorof3”均应译为“减少到1/3”,或者“减少2/3”。原文“Ais3timesassmall(light,slow,…)asB”,“Ais3timessmaller(lighter,slower,…)thanB”,均应译为“A的大小(重量,速度,……)是B的1/3”,或者“A比B小(轻,慢,……)2/3”,而不应译为“A比B小(轻,慢,……)3倍”。需要注意的是,增加用倍数表示,减少用分数表示。•汉语在倍数的表达上经常使用“翻番”,例如“double”(翻一番);“quadruple”(翻两番);但是“triple”不应译为“翻三番”,而应译为“增至三倍”,或者“增加两倍”。有很多考生在倍数的理解上出现问题,导致扣分,显然对于英语的数字表达方法不够熟悉。一、用times表示倍数1.“A+be+倍数+as+计量形容词原级+as+B”。•Thistreeisthreetimesastallasthatone.这棵树是那棵树的三倍高。•Hisfatheristwiceasoldashe.他父亲的年纪有他两倍大。2.“A+be+倍数+计量形容词比较级+than+B”•TheYangtzeRiverisalmosttwicelongerthanthePearlRiver.长江差不多比珠江长两倍。•Thedictionaryisexactlyfivetimesmoreexpensivethanthatone.这本字典比那本贵5倍。3.“A+be+倍数+the+计量名词+of+B”•Thenewlybroadenedsquareisfourtimesthesizeofthepreviousone.新扩建的广场是未扩建时的四倍大。•Thishillisfourtimestheheightofthatsmallone这座山的高度是那座小山的四倍。(比那座小山高三倍)4.“The+计量名词+of+A+be+倍数+that+of+B”•Thesizeofthenewlybroadenedsquareisfourtimesthatofthepreviousone.新扩建的广场为以前的四倍大。Theheightofthishillisfourtimesthatofthatsmallone.•5.“…times+asmany(或much)+名词+as…”例如:•We'veproducedtwiceasmuchcottonthisyearas(wedid)tenyearsago.•今年我们生产的棉花比十年前多了一倍。(汉语中的多一倍实际上也指两倍一样多。)•Hehasgotthreetimesasmanybooksashissister.•他拥有的书的数量是他妹妹的3倍。•6.“…times+what从句”例如:•Thelengthoftheroadisfourtimeswhatitwasthreeyearsago.•这条路的长度是三年前的4倍。•Thepriceofthemeatistwicewhatitwaslastyear.•肉价是去年的两倍。•7.“…times+upon(或over)…”例如:•Thesizeofthesunisamilliontimesoverthatoftheearth.•太阳的体积比地球的体积大一百万倍。•Heisthreetimesuponyourage.•他的年龄是你的4倍(或:比你的年龄大3倍)。•8.“…+by+…times”例如:•Comparedwithlastyear,ourcoaloutputhasincreasedbythreetimes.•与去年相比,我们的煤产量增长了3倍。•Hisspeedisfasterthanminebyfourtimes.•他的速度比我的快4倍。•Comparedwithlastyear,ourcoaloutputhasincreasedbythreetimes.二、用分数、百分数表示倍数•Theboxisone-thirdbiggerthanthatone.•这个盒子比那个盒子大三分之一。•Lastyeartheoutputvalueofindustrywas59percenthigherthanthatof1976.•去年工业产值比1976年增长了59%。•MycommandofEnglishisnothalfsogoodasyours.•我英语掌握得还不及你的一半儿好。三、用again(一倍),double(两倍),triple(三倍),fourfold(四倍)等词表示倍数。•MyAuntisasoldagainasIam.•我姑姑的年龄比我大一倍。•Thetop-brandclothesareoftensoldasdoublethenormalpricehere.•这里名牌衣服的售价经常比正常的售价高一倍。•Thenewworkproceduretripledtheoutput.•新工艺使产量增加两倍。•Theoutputofgrainincreasedfourfold.•粮食产量增加了三倍。exercises1.Americanseat________vegetableperpersontodayastheydidin1910.A.morethantwiceB.astwiceasmanyC.twiceasmanyasD.twiceasmuchD2.Paperproducedeveryyearis_______theworld'sproductionofvehicles.A.thethreeweightofB.threetimestheweightofC.asthreetimesheavyasD.threetimesasheavierasB3.WiththehelpoftheGermanexperts,thefactoryproduced______carsin1993astheyearbefore.•A.astwicemanyB.asmanytwice•C.twiceasmanyD.twicemanyasC4.Thisshipmeasures________thatone.A.astwiceaslongB.astwicelongasC.twicelongasD.twiceaslongasD5.Afterthenewtechniquewasintroduced,thefactoryproduced_______tractorsin1988astheyearbefore.•A.astwicemany•B.asmanyas•C.astwiceasmany•D.twiceasmanyD
