OG12 SC 125 疑惑中，请赐教！

sullivan215

125. Today, because of improvements in agricultural
technology, the same amount of acreage produces
double the apples that it has in 1910.
(A) double the apples that it has
(B) twice as many apples as it did
(C) as much as twice the apples it has
(D) two times as many apples as there were
(E) a doubling of the apples that it did

本题答案是B.
想问问哪位大N知道为何OG对E的解释是：
A doubling of the apples is awkward and, when joined with that it did, suggests doubling the apples themselves, not the amount of apples.

为什么这里说是“suggests doubling the apples themselves”，应该怎样理解才对呢？请赐教~！

a doubling of the apples 苹果的两倍
要表达的意思的是苹果数量的两倍

多谢lxd的回答!
只是解释中下面有一句"when joined with that it did"让我理解好像是“a doubling of the apples ”和“that it did"共同作用后，才有”suggests doubling the apples themselves, not the amount of apples“这个结果...还是不太明白，希望能够详细说明一下，感谢呀！

有道理啊，之前一直没懂

Suri在奋斗

我选B，就觉得E怪怪的
看ls几位的难道是说现在 E表示数量总共是1991产的三倍，多出了两倍，所以不符合去掉么？？

lxd19870226 大侠解释得很好了
G友sullivan215 没看懂，OG12的解释
“A doubling of the apples is awkward and, when joined with that it did, suggests doubling the apples themselves, not the amount of apples.”

这个句子解释，我这么看

when joined with that it did, A doubling of the apples is awkward and suggests doubling the apples themselves, not the amount of apples.
当和it联在一起，doubling of the apples 就显得别扭了并且（意思是）说
苹果自己的两倍，不是苹果数量的两倍

你看看，你的问题解决了没？呵呵

it在这里指的应该是amount，则用a doubling of apples会与后边的it不一致。

我还想补充一个问题，仍然是关于这句话的OG解释
他说double the apple这个短语会有两种理解：twice as many as或者as many as。
我有点不懂，不是有double么？为什么还会有as many as的理解呢？

E选项代入原句，就是：
125E. Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces
a doubling of the apples that it did in 1910.

did=produced，代入：
... produces a doubling of the apples that it produced in 1910.

看到了么？"that it produced in 1910" is an essential modifier that "defines" the apples.
换句话说，"the apples that it produced in 1910"这一部分，特指那些个1910年生产出来的苹果。
那么a doubling of "那些个1910年生产出来的苹果" 不合逻辑，这就是OG解释中说的：
A doubling of the apples is awkward and, when joined with that it did, suggests doubling the apples themselves, not the amount of apples.
回忆一下咱平常见到的"double"的句子:
..., doubling the amount of X
..., doubling the rate of X
于是我们发现，"double"后面往往跟这一类的词：amount, quantity, speed, frequency, rate (of), rates (for), price, ...有规律吧？肯定不能跟"apples""students"这一类的具体的东东。


而这题正确选项代入：
125B. Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces
twice as many apples as it did in 1910.

句子主干：
Acreage produces apples as it did.  没问题

然后用到twice as many ... (as)来修饰apples的数量，所以加到"apples"前面。
（类比：要说5个苹果，把表数量的five加到apples前面，变成"five apples"）
Acreage produces twice as many apples as it did.

检查一下：比较双方，前者是第一个as后面的名词"apples"，后者是第二个as之后"it did"的宾语( "it did ___" 和前面 "acreage produces apples" 是平行结构，所以"it did ___"那个宾语必然和前面的宾语apples平行，必然可比）。OK,没问题。

——以上，比较啰嗦，其实我想细说B选项这个结构怎么出来的，然后就知道为什么"it has"或者"there were"和前面的"acreage produces apples"不平行。

希望能解答以上同学的疑问....欢迎讨论~

这道题如果我遇到，我不管她怎么解释，我只知道
A不对，因为double是verb, 所以Produces double是双动词，句子错误
C不对，It指代谁？ the same amount？但是原文是the same amount produces,是do sth，可是右半边是has，助动词不对称
D不对，也是同样道理there were不平行，前半句没有there be的使用
E不对，a doubling of这个doubling是noun，倍数不是这么表达的
