其它例句： While 18 per cent of the high-tech workplace is filled with women, that's half as many as there were 25 years ago。 The number of registered voters in the county is 18,058, almost twice as many as there were four years ago .
89C: A recent national study of the public schools shows that here is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many [microcomputers] as there were.
以下是引用cmtn在2004-5-8 11:37:00的发言： 有这样的一种说法：老外数学不好，又懒得算，于是订下了一条规矩，如果不用计算,单复数一致，such as, there is one computer for, or there are two computers for；如果需要计算不论简单复杂，不管3721一律用复数，such as, four times as many as there were two years ago. Or there are now two computers for each group, two times as many as there are two years ago. 他们到是简单了可难坏数学好的XDJM了。
１、先举一个简单点的例子 There are 8 computers in this classroom, 4 times as many as there ( ) in that classroom. 上面这个例子要表达的这个教室有８台电脑，是那个教室里的四倍。谁都知道括号里应该填写的是are，而不是is。
２、变换一下 There are 8 students in this class room. There is one computer for every student, four times as many as there ( ) in that classroom. 这个句子比上面那个句子加了一个前提，就是教师里有8个学生。每个学生有一台。描述的是同样一个道理，你觉得括号里应该是填are还是is呢？
３、如何解释这个题目 前半句there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils和后半句there were four years ago，它们两句话所表达的倍数关系是什么物质的倍数关系呢？肯定是电脑台数的倍数关系，并不是平均每台电脑的使用频率上的倍数关系。既然是电脑台数的倍数关系，那么我们可以肯定，四年前肯定不是只有一台电脑吧。那么肯定要用were。前半句是用一台电脑的使用人数来表达电脑的台数，后半句直接使用数字个数来表达电脑的台数，所以要用复数。
４、大家再看一个句子 There is one computer for every 4 student in this classroom, four times as frequently used as there () in that classroom. 大家想想看，这个题目要用are还是is。
