英语中“倍数”的常用表达方式 倍数表达法是高中英语教学的重点，也是历年的高考热点之一。掌握倍数的表达法对于同学们学好英 ： 语具有重要意义。下面对倍数的几种表达法作一归 纳 一、用times 表示倍数（一般限于包括基数在内三倍或三倍以上的数。表示两倍的数，一般用twice ）。 ) 其句式有：(前三种为主 1. “?times＋形容词/ 副词的比较级＋than ?”例如： Line AB is three times longer than line CD. 线段AB 是（线段）CD 的三倍长。 This hall is five times bigger than our classroom. 大 5 倍。 这个大厅比我们的教室 This rope is twice longer than that one ． This hall is five times bigger than our classroom ． The car runs twice faster than that truck ． 2. “?times +as +形容词/ 副词的原级＋as ?”例如： This table is three times as long as that one. 这张桌子是那张桌子的三倍长。 This dictionary is five times as thick as the one you borrowed from the library. 这本词典的厚度是你从图书馆借的那本（厚度）的 5 倍。 Asia is four times as large as Europe 亚洲的面积是欧洲的四倍。 This big stone is three times as heavy as that one ． 倍） 这块大石头的重量是那一块的三倍。（这块石头比那块重二 The plane flew ten times as high as the kite ． 那架飞机飞行高度是那个风筝的十倍。（高出九倍） 3. “?times + the +名词（如：size ，height ，weight ，length ，width, age 等）＋of ?”例如： The earth is 49 times the size of the moon. 地球的体积是月球的49 倍。
一. 表达倍数的三个基本句型 1.“A+be动词/谓语动词+倍数+as+形容词/副词原级+as+B”，表示“A正好是B 的多少倍”。例如： Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亚洲的面积是欧洲的四倍。 This big stone is three times as heavy as that one. 这块大石头的重量是那块的三倍。 The plane flew ten times as high as the kite. 那架飞机的飞行高度是那只风筝的十倍。 2. “A+be动词/谓语动词+倍数+形容词/副词比较级+than+B”，表示“A比B大（长、高、宽等）多少倍”。例如： This rope is twice longer than that one. 这根绳子比那根绳子长两倍（是那根绳子三倍长）。 This hall is five times bigger than our classroom. 这个大厅比我们的教室大五倍(是我们教室的六倍大)。 The car runs twice faster than that truck. 这辆小车的速度比那辆卡车快两倍（是那辆卡车的三倍快）。 3. “A+be动词+倍数+the size/height/length/width, etc+of+B”，表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。例如： This street is four times the length of that one.这条街是那条街的四倍长。 This hill is four times the height of that small one.这座山的高度是那座小山的四倍。除表达倍数的三个基本句型外，我们还要掌握其基本句型的7种变形。
The production of integrated circuits has been increased to three times as compared with last year。集成电路的产量比去年增加了两倍。 That can increase metabolic rates by two or three times。 那可使代谢率提高到原来的2倍或3倍（即提高1倍或2倍）。 The drain voltage has been increased by a factor of four.漏电压增加了3借（即增加到原来的4倍）。注：在这类句型中increase常被raise，grow，go/step up，multiply等词所替代。（3）There is a n-fold increase/growth…应译为：增加n-倍（或增至n倍）。（⑧）这个句型还有其它一些形式，如： A record high increase in value of four times was reported.据报道,价值破记录地增长了3倍。 （4）double【增加1倍】，treble（增加2倍），quadruple（增加3倍）。(⑨)例如：The efficiency of the machines has been more than trebled or quadrupled．这些机器的效率已提高了2倍或3倍多。 (5)此外，英语中还有一种用again而不用倍数词来比较倍数的方法，如： A is as much（large，long，…）again as B.【= A is twice as much（large，long，…）as B.】（⑩）应译为：A比 B 多（大，长，……）1倍。 A is half as much（large，1ong，…）again as B.【= A is one and a half times as much（large，1ong，…）as B.】（11） 应译为:A比B多（大，长……）一半（即A是B的一倍半）。 2、倍数减少（1）A is n times as small（light，slow，…）as B.（12） A is n times smaller（lighter，slower，…）than B.（13） 以上两句均应译为：A的大小（重量，速度，……）是B的1/n[或A比B小（轻，慢，……）（n-1）/n]。例如： The hydrogen atom is near1y l6 times as light as the oxygen atom.氢原子的重量约为氧原子的1/16（即比氧原子约轻15／16）。 This sort of membrane is twice thinner than ordinary paper.这种薄膜比普通纸张要薄一半（即是普通纸厚度的1／2）。注：当相比的对象B很明显时，than/as B常被省去。 （2）decrease n times／n一fold（14） 以上三式均译为：减少到1／n[或：减少（n-1）／n]。decrease常被reduce，shorten，go／slow down等词替代。例如： Switching time of the new-type transistor is shortened 3 times。新型晶体管的开关时间缩短了1／3（即缩短到2／3）。 When the voltage is stepped up by ten times，the strength of the current is stepped down by ten times。电压升高9倍，电流强度便降低9／10（即90％）。 The equipment reduced the error probability by a factor of 5.该设备误差概率降低了4/5。 英语在表述或比较倍数时，无论使用什么句型（除了不含倍数词的again句型外）都包括基础倍数在内，因此都不是净增或净减n倍，而是净增或净减n-1倍。
一、用times 表示倍数（一般限于包括基数在内三倍或三倍以上的数。表示两倍的数，一般用twice ）。其句式有：(前三种为主)

倍数的表达方式：先说“倍数”，再说“是谁的……”，“比谁的…….” I am twice as old as he. He earns twice as much as he used to. She studies three times as hard as I. The line is four times as long as that one. My command of English is not half so/as good as yours. We have produced twice as much cotton this year as ten years ago. The street is four times shorter than that one.

英语倍数表达法 袁征 英语表示倍数增减或倍数对比的句型多种多样，其中有一些很容易译错——其主要原因在于：英汉两语在表述或对比倍数方面存在着语言与思维差异。现将常 用的英语倍数句型及其正确译法归纳如下： 倍数增加 (一) A is n times as great（long，much，…）as B.（①） A is n times greater （longer，more，…）than B.（②） A is n times the size （length，amount，…）of B.(③) 以上三句都应译为；A的大小（长度，数量，……）是B的n倍[或A比B大（长，多，……）n-1倍]. This book is three times as long as （three times longer than，three times the length of ）that one. 这本书的篇幅是那本书的3倍（即长两倍）。 注：当相比的对象B很明显时，than（as，of）B常被省去。 （二）increase to n times（④） increase n times／n-fold（⑤） increase by n times（⑥） increase by a factor of n（⑦） 以上四式均应译为：增加到n倍（或：增加n-1倍）。 The production of integrated circuits has been increased to three times as compared with last year. 集成电路的产量比去年增加了两倍。 The output of chemical fertilizer has been raised five times as against l986． 化肥产量比1986年增加了4倍。 That can increase metabolic rates by two or three times. 那可使代谢率提高到原来的2倍或3倍（即提高1倍或2倍）。 The drain voltage has been increased by a factor of four. 漏电压增加了3借（即增加到原来的4倍）。 注：在这类句型中increase常被raise，grow，go/step up，multiply等词所替代。 （三）There is a n-fold increase/growth…（⑧） 应译为：增加n-倍（或增至n倍）。这个句型还有其它一些形式： A record high increase in value of four times was reported. 据报道,价值破记录地增长了3倍。 （四）double (增加1倍），treble（增加2倍），quadruple（增加3倍）。(⑨)
一倍数表达法是历届高考的热点。当我们要表达甲是乙的几倍时，通常可使用以下句型：1. 倍数+ as + 形容词或副词的原级+ as + 其他。 这种结构又常演变成下列两类： ①倍数+ as + many + 可数名词复数+ as； ②倍数+ as +much + 不可数名词+ as。如： There are seven times as many people as I expected.是我预料的人数的七倍。 There is five times as much coffee in this glass as in that one. 这个杯子里的咖啡是那个杯子里的五倍。 2. 倍数+ 形容词（或副词）的比较级+ than + 其他。如： The hall is five times bigger than our classroom. 这个大厅的面积比我们教室大五倍。 3. 倍数+ the size / height / length / width. etc. + of + 其他。如： This road is six times the length of that one. 这条路是那条路的六倍长。 4. 计量名词+ of + 名词+ be +倍数+ that + of + 其他。如： The size of the newly broadened square is four times that of the previous one. 新扩建的广场为以前的四倍大。 5. 倍数+what从句。如： The production is now three times what it was ten years ago.现在的产量是十年前的三倍。 6. 倍数+ more + 名词+ than +其他。如： There are nine times more books in his bag than in yours. 他书包里的书比你书包里的书多九倍。 7. 其他表达。如： She’s twice/ double my age. 她的年龄是我的两倍。 The average income of the staff has been increased by 50 percent compared with last year. 与去年相比，该单位职工的收入已增加了50%。 He runs faster than me by three times. 他跑得比我快三倍。 【考查方向】 1)倍数在句中的位置一般放在第一个as前面或比较级前面或名词前面。 2)用times表示倍数时，一般只限于表示包括基数在内的三倍或三倍以上的数。表示两倍可以用twice或double，一倍用once。 二、重要的比较结构用法归纳 1. as…as 结构。该结构的意思是“与…一样”，其间应接形容词原级，不能用比较级或最高级。如： He is as tall as his father. 他与他父亲一样高。 He is as busy as before. 他还是像以前那样忙。 在否定句中第一个as也可换成so，其意为“不如”： He is not as [so] tall as his father. 他不如他父亲高。 He is not as [so] busy as before. 他不像以前那样忙。 2. more and more与the more…, the more…：前者表示“越来越……”，后者表示“越……，越……”。如： Our country is getting more and more powerful. 我们国家越来越强大。 The more we get together, the happier we will be. 人聚得越多，我们越快活。 3. more than 与less than：前者“(指数量)多于”、“不只是”、“非常”等，后者表示“少于”、“比……少”。如：

文中有这样一句话：If you offered me six times what you have just offered, I would still take my pound of flesh. (P.67) 倍数表达法是历届高考的热点。当我们要表达甲是乙的几倍时，通常可使用以下句型： 1. 倍数+ as + 形容词或副词的原级+ as + 其他。 这种结构又常演变成下列两类： ①倍数+ as + many + 可数名词复数+ as； ②倍数+ as +much + 不可数名词+ as。如： There are seven times as many people as I expected.是我预料的人数的七倍。 There is five times as much coffee in this glass as in that one. 这个杯子里的咖啡是那个杯子里的五倍。 2. 倍数+ 形容词（或副词）的比较级+ than + 其他。如： The hall is five times bigger than our classroom. 这个大厅的面积比我们教室大五倍。 3. 倍数+ the size / height / length / width. etc. + of + 其他。如： This road is six times the length of that one. 这条路是那条路的六倍长。 4. 计量名词+ of + 名词+ be +倍数+ that + of + 其他。如： The size of the newly broadened square is four times that of the previous one. 新扩建的广场为以前的四倍大。 5. 倍数+what从句。如： The production is now three times what it was ten years ago.现在的产量是十年前的三倍。 6. 倍数+ more + 名词+ than +其他。如： There are nine times more books in his bag than in yours. 他书包里的书比你书包里的书多九倍。 7. 其他表达。如： She’s twice/ double my age. 她的年龄是我的两倍。 The average income of the staff has been increased by 50 percent compared with last year. 与去年相比，该单位职工的收入已增加了50%。 He runs faster than me by three times. 他跑得比我快三倍。 【考查方向】 1)倍数在句中的位置一般放在第一个as前面或比较级前面或名词前面。 2)用times表示倍数时，一般只限于表示包括基数在内的三倍或三倍以上的数。表示两倍可以用twice或double，一倍用once。 【真题再现】 ①At a rough estimate, Nigeria is _______ Great Britain. （上海卷2005） A. three times the size as B. the size three times of C. three times as the size of D. three times the size of ②What a table! I’ve never seen such a thing before. It is _______ it is long.（湖北卷2005） A. half not as wide as B. wide not as half as C. not half as wide as D. as wide as not half ③Americans eat ____ vegetables per person today as they did in 1910.（上海卷2002春） A. more than twice B. as twice as many C. twice as many as D. more than twice as many 【点拨】①倍数要放在the size of的前面，three times the size of表示“……比……大两倍”，故选D。②从题意知，这张桌子的长度不到宽度的一半，这里half相当于倍数，放在as前面。故选C。③more than twice表示数量，应置于as...as结构之前，意为“是……两
