[讨论]double 的词性？（OG11Yellow-#4)

A survey by the ....showed that in 1986 there were 20,736 female ministers, almost 9 percent of the nationa's clergy, twice as much as 1977.

正确答案是：double the figure for 1977. 这里double的词性是副词吧？显然不是动词。副词+名词总觉得怪怪的。。。谁能解释一下？

如果还有一个选项：twice as many as in 1977，应该也是正确答案吧？

double也有动词的词形阿（可参看牛津高阶第四版增补版433页double5)

showed 引导的从句已经有动词were了，所以这里的double不可能是动词，否则从句就有两个动词了。

Took a look at the m-w dictionary and found the answer. The double here is adj. : being twice as great or as many.
For example: <double the number of expected applicants>.

twice as many as in 1977， is also a correct answer. 自问自答了。呵呵。

这里的double是动词没问题的

呵呵仔细看了一遍原来是语法体阿不好意思这里的double应该不是动词是个形容词在double后停顿一下可能理解起来就好一些

double做动词很常见啊

e.g.我们很常用的一句话 plz double check the wording as well as the typing errors in your documentation.

跟名词也可以动名联做名词，e.g. double-check

这里作动词从语法上讲不通啊只能是形容词做补充说明偶的看法呵呵
