9.有个题我自己拿不准,基础知识不扎实。英文表述是 A is greater 5 times than B ,反正我理解的意思是A比B大了5倍,我就按A=6B算的。那道题巨简单,唯一卡在这个地方。貌似就是A比B大5倍,B是C的几倍,问A是C的几倍吧。。。 If A is 5 times greater than B, then A=5B is the conventional meaning. -- by 会员 sdcar2010 (2011/1/6 23:26:05)
我记起了,说的是A is 5 times greater than b, 我查了下, 引用资源:http://www.ieltsol.com/tianjin/article/2009-12-9/200912910235580.shtml
“1. 倍数增加 (1) A is N times as great as B.A is N times greater than B. A is N times the size of B. 以上三句都应译为:A的大小是B的N倍(或A比B大N-1倍)。注:当相比的对象B很明显时,than(as,of)B常被省去。 (2)increase to N times
increase N times/N-fold
increase by N times
increase by a factor of N以上四句均应译为:增加到N倍(或:增加N-1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/N times increase/growth…应译为:增加N-1倍(或增至N倍)。” |
