标题: 求一道语法题目，解释和曼哈顿不一样,怎么回事? [打印本页] 作者: kellyfx 时间: 2011-9-22 14:48 标题: 求一道语法题目，解释和曼哈顿不一样,怎么回事? OG251题说:The gyrfalcon, an Arctic bird of prey, has survived a close brush with extinction; its numbers are now five times greater than when the use of DDT was sharply restricted in the early 1970's. 正确答案就是A, 可是在曼哈顿语法上第13章,关于数字的比较一章,说if you want to relate to quantities by multiplications, use times and as...as together, Right: The man is five times as old as his grandson. Wrong: The man is five times older than his grandson. 请教一下这样的解释不是和OG的正确选项冲突吗?还是另有其他意思,我还没弄明白呢?
请斑竹及大虾门赐教!感谢感谢(感觉数字比较比较难!)作者: gourmettsu 时间: 2011-9-22 15:08
manhattan后面那段不就是说···虽然OG出过这个题选这个，但是in general, this usage should be avoided.
