(三) There is a n-fold increase/growth…(⑧)
应译为:增加n-倍(或增至n倍)。这个句型还有其它一些形式:
e.g. A record high increase in value of four times was reported. 据报道,价值破记录地增长了3倍。
(四) double (增加1倍),treble(增加2倍),quadruple(增加3倍)。(⑨)
e.g. The efficiency of the machines has been more than trebled or quadrupled. 这些机器的效率已提高了2倍或3倍多。
(五) 此外,英语中还有一种用again而不用倍数词来比较倍数的方法,如:
A is as much (large,long,…)again as B.(= A is twice as much (large,long,…)as B.(⑩)
应译为:A比B多(大,长,……)1倍。
A is half as much (large, 1ong,…)again as B.
(= A is one and a half times as much (large, 1ong,…)as B.)(11)
应译为:A比B多(大,长……)一半(即A是B的一倍半)。
