谢了，原来这个问题已经讨论了很多次了。刚才google了一下，好像这个用法很普遍。

The Conference attracted 600 participants, more than double the number expected, with government officials, sinologists, and students from over 60 countries and regions.

That's just about double the number of weblogs tracked in October 2004. In fact, the blogosphere is doubling in size about once every 5 months.
