double的一种用法，不是单纯的=twice as....as，没必要前后比较的内容一致。翻译起来就是：使...翻番。然后OG上有一题好像把double变成twice,也是考这点：doule可以让很多属性（数量，值，大小）twice,那题强调数量，所以用twice as many as.具体哪到忘了。
下面是朗文上的解释，楼主好好体会。 double 3 double3 v [I and T] to become twice as big or twice as much, or to make something twice as big or twice as much double in size/number/value etc Within two years the company had doubled in size. The church has doubled its membership in the last five years. double the size/number/amount etc (of sth) A promise was given to double the number of police on duty.作者: 幸运E枪兵 时间: 2012-3-17 15:16
