文章編號：G23-06
如果學會了形容詞/副詞的兩者間同等比較(G23-02英文同等比較怎麼使用？一次學會同等比較： as…as…「A跟B一樣...」)跟比較級(G23-03形容詞/副詞之比較級怎麼用? 三分種搞懂形容詞/副詞之比較級使用法)用法後，就可以來學學如何表達倍數比了，總共有三種表達方式～趕快來瞧瞧!
倍數比句型一：倍數說法 ＋同等比較句構
|
A + beV + 倍數說法 + as adj. as + B |
|
A + 普通動詞 + 倍數說法 + as adj. + N as + B A + 普通動詞 + 倍數說法 + as adv. as + B |
E.g.1: This university is ten times as large as that elementary school.
「這間大學是那間小學的十倍大。」
E.g.2: My sister earns about three times as much money as I do every month.
「我姊姊/妹妹每個月賺的錢是我的三倍。」
E.g. 3: This car runs twice as fast as my scooter.
「這台車跑起來是我摩托車的兩倍快。」
補充：倍數比如何說呢？
|
0.5倍 |
half |
|
1.5 倍 |
one and a half times |
|
2倍 |
two times, twice |
|
3倍 |
three times |
|
4 倍 … |
four times …以此類推 |
倍數比句型二：倍數說法 ＋比較級句構
|
A + beV + 倍數說法 + 形容詞比較級 than + B |
|
A + 普通動詞 + 倍數說法 + 形容詞比較級 + N than + B A + 普通動詞 + 倍數說法 + 副詞比較級 than + B |
就用上面三個例句來個別改寫一下唷～
E.g.1: This university is ten times larger than that elementary school.
「這間大學是那間小學的十倍大。」
E.g.2: My sister earns about three times more money than I do every month.
「我姊姊/妹妹每個月賺的錢是我的三倍。」
E.g. 3: This car runs twice faster than my scooter.
「這台車跑起來是我摩托車的兩倍快。」
倍數比句型三：倍數說法 + the N of…
|
A + beV + 倍數說法 + the N of B |
|
A + 普通動詞 + 倍數說法 + the N of… |
先用上面兩個例句來改寫看看唷～
E.g.1: This university is ten times the size of that elementary school.
「這間大學是那間小學的十倍大。」
E.g.2: My sister earns about three times the amount of money that I do every month.
這時可能會發現，原本第一個例句如果套用句型一跟二時，是使用形容詞large，在這句型三要換成名詞the size，而第二個例句使用上面前兩個句型時是使用形容詞much, 這邊要換成名詞the amount。
此句型三適用的狀況較少見，原因有二：
-
使用句型一跟二時，得使用的是形容詞，而不是副詞，才能轉換成此句型三。
-
而且也不是所有使用句型一跟二的形容詞都能順利換成相對應的名詞唷～只有某些形容詞能做此轉換，整理在以下表格中，以供參考。
|
adj. |
N |
|
old |
age |
|
heavy |
weight |
|
tall |
height |
|
many |
number |
|
much |
amount |
|
big/large |
size |
|
long |
length |
|
wide |
width |
|
deep |
depth |
以上就是表達倍數比的三種方式，都熟悉了嗎？這三個倍數比句型熟悉了，用在文法選擇題或是翻譯寫作上，都可以加分不少唷。
再來多幾個例句，熟悉一下這三個倍數比句型間要如何轉換自如吧～
E.g.1: The young man is one and a half times as heavy as the old man.
= The young man is one and a half times heavier than the old man.
= The young man is one and a half times the weight of the old man.
「這年輕人是那老人體重的1.5倍。」
E.g.2: The skyscraper is ten times as tall as my apartment.
= The skyscraper is ten times taller than my apartment.
= The skyscraper is ten times the height of my apartment.
「這摩天大樓是我公寓的十倍高。」
E.g.3: I have five times as many books as you do.
= I have five times more books than you do.
= I have five times the number of books you do.
「我有你五倍多的書。」
