twice 和double

RIGHT:
Leaves fall TWICE AS quickly AS they grow.
Naomi wrote TWICE AS MANY letters AS Sara [did],
Naomi wrote ten letters, DOUBLE THE NUMBER THAT Sara wrote. （double 做限定词，后半部分是同位语）
Naomis income DOUBLED in three years.                                        double做Vi
Naomi DOUBLED her income in three years.                                     double做vt

WRONG:
Leaves fall TWICE AS quickly AS their rate o f growth.    错，是不是因为第二个as后面必须是从句？改成twice their rate 可以么？
Naomi wrote DOUBLE THE LETTERS THAT Sara did.       和前面的正确句子比，错在哪里？
Naomts income INCREASED BY TWICE in three years.    错是因为语义重复么？还是别的？

人犯贱，不喜欢死记硬背。就大神解答

多说无益，只希望牢记：比较结构中，作比较的部分要相适应（如不可动词与名词，或人与物品之间作比较）。另外，LZ要注意词性的正确性。

记住，twice是副词！
1. as前后在比较两个动作，但现在后面是个名词。一定要用twice their rate, 应该改成Leaves fall at a rate TWICE AS high AS the rate of growth。
2. that用法错误。that指代the letters，这些letters特指Naomi写的那些，后面宾语从句又表示这些信是sara写的，显然意思矛盾。
3. 在这里不管用by twice还是twice都有“两次”的歧义，除非能够用上twice the income of...的结构否则排除不了歧义。

Naomi wrote the letters that Sara wrote. 这句话逻辑上有什么问题？如果不是很敏感的话看下一句：
Naomi ate the cakes that Sara ate. 是不是觉得这逻辑根本不对。一个对象有两个施加动作的人？一块蛋糕被吃了两次？
