倍数表达（fold ,percent,times等）

This car is only one-third as expensive as that one. This car is only one-third more expensive than that one.

【疑问】请问这两句话一个意思吗？（因为，如果是表示大于一的整数的话，这两句话是一个意思。并且这种分数表示法，在语料库里面可以查到例句。）

1. This car is only one-third as expensive as that one.

这辆车只有那辆车的三分之一价格。

（假设那辆车是9万元，那么这辆车就是3万元。）

2. This car is only one-third more expensive than that one.

这辆车只比那辆贵三分之一。

（假设那辆车仍然是9万元，那么这辆车就是11.7万元。）

“不足一倍”和“超过一倍”，两句的意思相差悬殊。试比较：

This car is only twice as expensive as that one.

= This car is only twice more expensive than that one.

这辆车仅是那辆车价格的两倍。

二句意思不同。

This car is only one-third as expensive as that one. 这辆车是那辆车价格的三分之一。

This car is only one-third more expensive than that one. 这辆车比那辆车贵三分之一。

倍数/分数+as...as=是几倍/几分之几。

倍数/分数+more than = 多几倍/几分之几。
