回答10楼的：

一样久的话，应该A is as old as B，这个表达法大概小学就学过了。

如果一样久，这个2000年是什么意思呢？一样久怎么还会有2000年的差距？所以肯定是older than的。

除非你的意思是the megalithic monuments in Brittany的实际年龄为2000岁，表达一样东西年龄为2000岁应该是sth is 2000 years old. 注意末尾的old在这里一定不能少。但是，如果说monuments的年龄为2000岁了，那后面出现的predecessors你把它怎么跟前面联系起来呢？

我试一下按这个思路写个句子：A is 2000 years old, as old as B. 这样的话不知道行不行呢？这样的话很明显，A选项在2000 years后面少了个old，肯定是错的。

前面已经有个nearly 怎么还能加AS OLD AS。大家都没有注意么

以下是引用xingzhang在2004-8-24 23:51:00的发言：

1.        Carbon-14 dating reveals that the megalithic monuments in Brittany are nearly 2,000 years as old as any of their supposed Mediterranean predecessors.

(A) as old as any of their supposed

(B) older than any of their supposed

(C) as old as their supposed

(D) older than any of their supposedly（B）

(E) as old as their supposedly

Choices A, C, and E do not state the comparison logically. The expression as old as indicates equality of age, but the sentence indicates that the Brittany monuments predate the Mediterranean monuments by 2,000 years.

我的问题是：段子中怎样indicates that the Brittany monuments predate the Mediterranean monuments by 2,000 years.

如果我想表达的是：a and b 同样的年龄，都是2000，那么用as..as表达，不就可以如答案a 所表达的那样吗？我错在哪了？百思不得其解？恳请执教。

in my opinion,

both "as...as..." and "more ..than.." are comparison construction.

the key word is "any",  we can say "more older..than any of", not" as ..as any of".. but i think it's idiomatical if we say "as ..as all of ".

有一個關於supposedly vs supposed的問題:

It reveals that the monuments are nearly 2000 years older then any of their (A)supposed (B)supposedly  Mediterranean predecessors.

OG說因為Mediterranean predecessors 為名詞 

所以用(A)supposed

看另外一題OG 

Reporting that one of its many problems had been the

recent extended sales slump in women’s apparel, the

seven-store retailer said it would start a three-month

liquidation sale in all of its stores.

OG說因為extended sales slump 整體視為一個N. 所以用recent來形容

不用recently 副詞

但是OG第61題目又說Archaeologists believe that a recently

discovered chalice was probably buried to keep it from

being stolen by invaders.

 

要怎麼判斷
        那個名詞
        是整體是為一個N ??

而不是Mediterranean修飾predecessors //extended修飾sales

slump  所以前面的modifier通通用副詞??

又為什麼既然可以說a recently discovered chalice 卻不能說the recently extended sales slump??

这里不论是形容词还是副词都要注意所修饰的对象是谁
基本概念是形容词修饰名词，而副词修饰形容词
supposed和Mediterranean都是修饰名词 predecessors
recent和extended都修饰sales slump
而最后一句中
recently则是修饰discovered，并非chalice
或者靠意思理解也可以判断
我们只说supposed predecessor，recent sales slump
和　recently discovered
chalice用recent修饰根本讲不通

还是关于as...as的问题：如果as....as只能是同等的比较，那为什么很多这样的用法：sth. is twice as many as....,    sth. runs 3 times as fast as.....,

我不太明白。

我不太明白。

我的理解是这样的

以A runs 3 times as fast as B这个例子而言

先不要看倍数关系(3 times)

就是表示A跑的如同B一样快

那如果在as前加上倍数关系，就是表示说A跑的速度是(A和B跑的一样快的速度)的三倍，所以as…as是同等比较，但as 前加上倍数关系就可以表不同等比较了。

这只是我的浅见，不知道大家觉得呢?

 

另外我还是很迷惑，这题如果要表达年龄同样都是2000年，是要写成:

1.      …are 2000 years old, same as any of their supposed Mediterranean predecessors.

还是

2.      …are nearly 2000 years old as old as any of their supposed Mediterranean predecessors.

还是

3. …are nearly as 2000 years old as any of their supposed Mediterranean predecessors.
