more than 用在动词double 前表示什么含义

CNN: Proposed Stimulus Package Advances in Congress

The Biden Administration's proposal would more than double the minimum wage to $15 per hour by the year 2025.

more than 用在动词double 前表示什么含义呢?还有,by the year 2025 是否要求谓语动词double使用完成时呢?

More than修饰动词,意为“不止,不仅仅”,为副词性习语。

By+时间名词作状语,意为not later than. 谓语动作可以在该时间之前发生(此时谓语动词用完成体),也可以在该时间发生(此时谓语动词用一般体)。本句中double无须改为完成体,因为该动作可能发生在2025年以前,也可能发生在2025年。

我认为,原句的主语是proposal 后面用了表示推测的would(虚拟),在这样的句中不会使用将来完成时。另外现英语倾向于用将来时代替将来完成时,只有在特意强调完成的情况下才使用将来完成。by 的用法无关。 请看下面例句:

Nigeria’s population is set to double to more than 400m by 2050, when it will have overtaken the US as the world’s third most inhabited country.

By 2050, the situation will have changed just slightly in favour of the medium age group.

The great majority of adults will have received a coronavirus jab by the end of May, a senior government adviser has revealed, after an official announcement that all the over-50s will be inoculated by the end of April.

 

Next August we will have been married for 25 years.
