three times as…as…每个词之间是什么语法关系

问题描述

(He says that) three times as many young trees are planted as those that can be cut.

请问：three times as…as…每个词之间是什么语法关系?

老师答疑

曾老师：

He says之后是that引导的宾语从句，从句是一个“倍数词+as...as”的倍数表达句式，three times as修饰形容词many（即第一个as是副词）；第二个as是连词引导一个省略形式的比较从句，从句中的that can be cut为定语从句修饰those,补全后便是：

He says that three times as many young trees are planted as those that can be cut (were planted). 他说，栽种的小树是（以前栽种的）现在可以砍伐的那些树木的三倍。

▲ 再给你提供两个词典例句（as从句中的省略部分已加上）：
