方法點撥：英語倍數的表示方法總結

　　關于英語倍數表示法的文章很多，而且列舉了一大堆的句型，讓人看了眼花繚亂。在仔細地分析了各種句式后，實際上，英語倍數最大的特點是：先說“倍數”，再說“是誰的……”，“比誰的……”等。概括起來，英語倍數表示主要就三種句式。

　　1、倍數+比較級...

　　(1) 倍數 as...as (意思是“A是B的幾倍”。)

　　I am twice as old as he. 我的年紀是他的兩倍。

　　He has got three times as many books as his sister. 他擁有的書的數量是他妹妹的三 倍。

　　在比較級前，還可以用over，more thant 等表示“比……倍還要多”。例如：

　　He is more than three times as rich as I. 他的財富是我的三倍還不止。

　　I am more than twice as old as he. 我的年齡是他的兩倍還不止。

　　He studies more than three times as hard as I. 他用功的程度是我的三倍還不止。
