1. 倍數(shù)+as+形容詞或副詞的原級+as+其它。

這種結(jié)構(gòu)又常演變成下列兩類：

①倍數(shù)+as+many+可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)+as;

②倍數(shù)+as+much+不可數(shù)名詞+as。如：

There are seven times as many people as I expected.

是我預(yù)料的人數(shù)的七倍。

There is five times as much coffee in this glass as in that one.

這個杯子里的咖啡是那個杯子里的五倍。

2. 倍數(shù)+形容詞（或副詞）的比較級+ than+其它。如：

The hall is five times bigger than our classroom.

這個大廳的面積比我們教師大五倍。

3. 計量名詞+of+名詞+be+倍數(shù)+that+of+其它。如：

The size of the newly broadened square is four times that of the previous one.

新擴(kuò)建的廣場為以前的四倍大。

4. 倍數(shù)+what從句。如：

The production is now three times what it was ten years ago.

現(xiàn)在的產(chǎn)量是十年前的三倍。

5. 倍數(shù)+more+名詞+than+其它。如：

There are nine times more books in his bag than in yours.

他書包里的書比你書包里的書多九倍。

6. 其它表達(dá)。如：

She's twice/double my age.

她的年齡是我的兩倍。

The average income of the staff has been increased by 50 percent compared with last year.

與去年相比，該單位職工的收入已增加了50%。

He runs faster than me by three times.

他跑得比我快三倍。

【考查方向】

1）倍數(shù)在句中的位置一般放在第一個as前面或比較級前面或名詞前面。

2）用times表示倍數(shù)時，一般只限于表示包括基數(shù)在內(nèi)的三倍或三倍以上的數(shù)。表示兩倍可以用twice或double,一倍用once.

【重點歸納】

除了我們初中所學(xué)的形容詞的比較級的用法，本模塊我們主要歸納幾種句式結(jié)

（一）含倍數(shù)的比較句型

1. 倍數(shù)+as+形容詞原級+as…。如：

This bridge is three times as long as that one.

His room is twice as big as mine;in other words,mine is only half as big as his.

【特別提醒】

“as…as”中間加入名詞的句式：

●倍數(shù)+as+形容詞+a/an+可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)+as…

●倍數(shù)+as+形容詞+可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)/不可數(shù)名詞+as…。如：

Last year my brother twice as big a new house as mine.

He has collected more than three times as many stamps as I (have).

I spent twice as much time on my studies as you did.

【難點點撥】

該結(jié)構(gòu)的省略：通常省略形容詞后面的名詞及比較的部分。如：

I have to transfer(轉(zhuǎn)乘）buses so I spend twice as much (money as others)for the bus every day.

2. 倍數(shù)+形容詞比較級+than…。如：

This street is four times shorter than that one.

Fear of danger is ten thousand times more terrifying than danger itself.

【特別提醒】

倍數(shù)+形容詞比較級+名詞+than…。如：

He earns five times more money now than he did ten years ago.

There are three times more books in our library than in yours.

3. 另外，請注意下面兩種說法：

(1) 倍數(shù)+what從句。如：

The length of the road is four times what it was three years ago.

(2) 倍數(shù)+that of+被比較對象。如：

Airmail charges almost twice or three times that of a normal mail.

（二）其它句式

1." 比較級+and+比較級"表示"越來越…"。如：

Things are getting better and better every day.

Our country is becoming more and more beautiful.

2." the+比較級…，the+比較級…"表示“越…，就越…”。如：

The more you have, the more you want.

The more a man knows, the less he knows he knows.

【知識擴(kuò)展】

在形容詞比較級前可以加a little, a bit, a lot, no, any, much, far, even,still等副詞組表示程度的加深。如：

The result is much better than we expected.

Actually, health is far more important than wealth.
