用比较级表示倍数表达法：

1.“A+倍数+形容词或副词的比较级+than+B”,社会流行说法：表示“A比B大（长、高、宽等）多少倍”.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）.（错误译法）

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).（错误译法）

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）.（错误译法）

I will take the money. Give me three times more than Antonio borrowed from me.(<高中英语教科书>第三册 人教社)

流行译法：我愿意要钱。请给我加三倍的安东尼奥向我借的钱还给我。（教参错误译法）

正解：我愿意要钱。请按安东尼奥借钱额的三倍还给我。（不信的朋友可以找个老外问问就明白了。）

先举两个例子：

The population in and around San Francisco is now ten times more than it was in 1906.

现在旧金山市区和郊区的人口已是1906年的十倍了。

China is 22 times larger than Britain . So, multiply the total for Britain by 22(x22).This will show you how much rubbish China would throw away each year.

中国是英国的22倍，因此，把英国的总量乘以22，你就会知道中国每年扔掉的垃圾将会有多少了。

注意，现在小编归纳总结的说法是：“A+倍数+形容词或副词的比较级+than+B”表示A是B多少的倍数；如：

This rope is twice longer than that one.这根绳子是那根绳子2倍长。（你没看错，就是2倍长）

This rope is three times longer than that one. 这根绳子是那根绳子3倍长。(没错，不多不少就是3倍长)

This hall is five times bigger than our classroom.这个大厅是我们的教室五倍那么大。（你还是没看错，原句要说的就是我们教室是这个大厅的5倍大。）

The car runs twice faster than that truck.这辆小车的速度是那辆卡车速度的两倍。（还是没错，不多不少正好是那辆车速度的2倍。）

今天的重点来了：A is n times more(longer、larger…) than B结构就是表示A=nB,即A是B的n倍；

与下面马上讲的结构：A is n times as many/much(long、large…) as B含义完全一样，即表示A=nB,即A是B的n倍；

2.“A+倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+B”,表示“A正好是B的多少倍”.如：

This rope is twice as long as that one.这根绳子是那根绳子2倍长。（你没看错，就是2倍长）

This rope is three times as long as that one. 这根绳子是那根绳子3倍长。(没错，不多不少就是3倍长)

This hall is five times as big as our classroom.这个大厅是我们的教室五倍那么大。（你还是没看错，原句要说的就是我们教室是这个大厅的5倍大。）

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.

重点有来了，既然两种结构都表示一个意思，它们有没有区别呢？硬要说区别，有那么一点点，就是当n等于2（此时用twice）或3时，A is n times as

many/much(long、large…) as B结构更常用一些。
