如题所述
twice as much as 和twice as many as这两个词组采用了“倍数+as+形容词/副词/名词+as”的表达形式,均表示两倍之多的意思。但是,twice as much as 后面要跟不可数名词或数词,twice as many as 后面要跟可数名词。
例如:
1、Since 1951 the arctic has warmed roughly twice as much as the globalaverage.
释义:自从1951年以来,北极变暖的速度基本上是全球平均速度的两倍。
2. The numbers of the machiens are twice as many as those of ten years ago.
