Carbon- 14 dating reveals that the megalithic monuments in Brittany are nearly 2,000 years as old as any of their supposed Mediterranean predecessors. (A) as old as any of their supposed (B) older than any of their supposed (C) as old as their supposed (D) older than any of their supposedly (E) as old as their supposedly 这道题答案是B。而我有一点疑惑是：A 为什么不对，我查看了其他的资料，给出的解释 as old as 一样古老，那么就不可能出现2000 years. 所以排除了A。 如果照这样解释的话，那么这个句子还对吗？ my books are five times as many as Tom's. 有的解释上说，倍数 后面就不可以加上as ... as 句型，我认为不对，但是实在想不出什么道理。请牛牛解释一下，谢谢！
下面是OG的解释：Choices A, C, and E do not state the comparison logically. The expression as old as indicates equality of age, but the sentence indicates that the Brittany monuments predate the Mediterranean monuments by 2,000 years. In B, the best choice, older than makes this point of comparison clear. B also correctly uses the adjective supposed, rather than the adverb supposedly used in D and E, to modify the noun phrase Mediterranean predecessors.作者: 草稿纸 时间: 2010-3-21 17:10
my books are five times as many as Tom's. 是对的。
如果说同样2000岁，要说 are nearly 2000 years old, like any of... 如果are nearly 2000 years 后面直接跟as old as不通
