He will be earning only half as much as he used to.
A is … times as … as B(上课老师说,上面句子使用的是这种表达倍数的方式)
所以完整的句子是这样吗:
He will be earning (the money which is)only half as much as he used to.
我还有一种理解方式,不知道对不对,half 词性还可以是名词,把 half 看作宾语,as much as he used to 看作同级比较修饰 half 。
如果以上两种理解方式都不正确,麻烦老师帮忙分析一下,谢谢老师。
He will be earning only half as much as he used to.
网友的两种理解都不对。
1. earning 的宾语是much,不需要添加 money 或换成 money,更不需要按定语来变换结构。简化结构后,实际为:
He will be earning much. 比较结构是:He will be earning as much as .... 继续演变下去,看第2条。
2. half 是“二分之一”,其实就是一个分数;“三分之一” 则说one third;“三倍” 则是 three times。放在比较结构之前分别是:
half as much as
one third as much as
three times as much as
这里,half, one third, three times 都是修饰as much的。是倍数表达法的一种。
3. 如果分数或倍数放在名词前,则用作前位限定词。如:
This bridge is three times the length of that one.这座桥是那座桥的三倍长。
