prep2008 sc1 202 (GWD-27-Q7) 笔记里的解释有疑惑，求解！

Providing initialevidence that airports are a larger source of pollution than they were oncebelieved to be, environmentalists in Chicago report that the total amount ofpollutant emitted annually by vehicles at O’Hare International Airport is twiceas much as that which is being emitted annually by all motor vehicles inthe Chicago metropolitan area.
A.     as much as that which isbeing emitted annually by all
B.     as much annually as isemitted by the
C.     as much compared to whatis annually emitted by all
D.    that emitted annually by all          (D)
E.     that emitted annuallycompared to the


这题选D，我没有异议。但是对于prep08的解释：
 倍数表达：twice (as much as) sth.; X times adj. than; Xtimes as adj. as; double sth.
times 与than一起用不是有问题吗？是错误的啊！
The man is FIVE TIMES OLDER THAN his grandson. 在manhattan里这句话是错误的，它的结构就是X times adj. than  
所以到底X times adj. than到底是不是错误呢？
百思不得其解啊~~

我来补充一下把，N times as...as和N times more than的含义是不一样的，前者就是N倍，后者是N+1倍，所以只要原句是N times as。。。as就绝对不能换成N times more than

manhattan上说是错的表达方式，但是有些地方OA是正确的，没别的办法，不要直接排除就好，找其他的致命错误；如果原文的含义是N times as...as....则不可用N times more than，这样记住就好
