72. The number of undergraduate degrees in engineering awarded by colleges and universities in the
(A) increased by more than twice
(B) increased more than two times
(C) more than doubled
(D) was more than doubled(C)
(E) had more than doubled
请问two times 和twice有什么区别呢?
OG 的解释:
B增长了超过两次 distorts the sentence's meaning, stating that the number of engineering degrees conferred increased on more than two distinct occasions.(歧义)
two times是两次,twice是两倍,所以B造成了歧义。
“增长了两次”,和“增长了两倍”是不一样的。
JJ这个问题我也有疑惑, 我觉得语法上应该讲的通.
欢迎NN讨论.
顶旧帖,我也有这个疑问,如果B改为increased more than twice正确么?
毕竟有些时候two times 是等于 twice 的
A is twice more than B
A is two times as many as B
