英语中倍数表达法是历届高考的热点之一。当我们要表达甲是乙的几倍时，通常可使用以下句型：

1. 倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+其它。这种结构又常演变成下列两类：

①倍数+as+many+可数名词复数+as;

②倍数+as+much+不可数名词+as。如：

There are seven times as many people as I expected.

是我预料的人数的七倍。

There is five times as much coffee in this glass as in that one.

这个杯子里的咖啡是那个杯子里的五倍。

2. 倍数+形容词（或副词）的比较级+ than+其它。如：

The hall is five times bigger than our classroom.

这个大厅的面积比我们教师大五倍。

3. 计量名词+of+名词+be+倍数+that+of+其它。如：

The size of the newly broadened square is four times that of the previous one.

新扩建的广场为以前的四倍大。

4. 倍数+what从句。如：

The production is now three times what it was ten years ago.

现在的产量是十年前的三倍。

5. 倍数+more+名词+than+其它。如：

There are nine times more books in his bag than in yours.

他书包里的书比你书包里的书多九倍。

6. 其它表达。如：

她的年龄是我的两倍。
