as…as还是as…than(质疑人教版教程上的一个句子)

来源:www.ziyubo.com 2024-07-11

在人教版的高中英语选择性必学第二册有如此一句(第32页):

And in America, peoplewho receive 25% of their daily calories or more through sugar are twice as likely to die from heart disease than people who receive less than 10% aday.

感觉这里的 as…than 用错了吧,不应该是 as…as 吗?

在表示比较时,英语一般的搭配是 as…as(等量比较)或-er / more / less…than(非等量比较)。但有时确实可以见到 as…than 如此的使用方法,其缘由是:当 as…as 中间的成分比较“复杂”时,说话的人说到后面时就忘记前面的 as 了。事实上这种使用方法不只在平常的阅读中会时不时碰到,而且连某些英语词典和语法著作也有所网站收录。如下面一句摘自M. Rundell 的LongmanEssential Activator(见该书第113页),其中就用到了as…than:

Garage mechanics are twice as likely to overcharge womencar-owners than men.

修理汽车技工对女人用户开价过高的可能性是对男士用户的两倍。
