I like this jacket better than that one, but it costs almost three times______. A．as much B．as many C．so much D．so many

Answer 1

A

表示“A是B的多少倍”可以用“A+谓语动词+倍数+as+形容词原级+(as+B)”的结构来表示，如果上文已经提到A是与B相比较，也就是说上文已经提到了与A相比较的对象，那么两者在比较时可以将第二个as和比较对象B省略掉。例如：This room is a little larger than that one, but it is four times as expensive。本句的意思是：我更喜欢这件上衣而不喜欢那件，但这件上衣的价钱几乎是那件的三倍。另外，表示“A是B的多少倍”还可以用以下两种结构来表示1）A+谓语动词+倍数+形容词的比较级+ than +B。2）A+谓语动词+倍数+名词+of +B。
