谢谢‘
好像还有一种用long的名词形式的，如何表达？A is three times the length of B.对不对？
A is three times the length of B.有这种说法
英语表示倍数增减或倍数对比的句型多种多样，其中有 一些（如下文中的句型②、⑤、⑥、⑧ 等， 见圈码）很容易译错——其主要原因在于：英汉两语在表述或对比倍数方面存在着语言与思维差异。现将常 用的英语倍数句型及其正确译法归纳如下：
倍数增加
(一) A is n times as great（long，much，…）as B.（①）
A is n times greater （longer， more，…）than B.（②）
A is n times the size （length， amount，…）of B.(③)
以上三句都应译为；A的大小（长度，数量，……）是B的n倍[或A比B大（长，多，……）n-1倍].
e.g. This book is three times as long as (three times longer than/three times the length of) that one.
这本书的篇幅是那本书的3倍（即长两倍）。
注：当相比的对象B很明显时，than（as，of）B常被省去。
A is three times as long as B.
A is twice longer than B.
A is three times as long as B.
A is twice longer than B.
A is 3 times of B in length.
A is three length than B.
A is three times as long as B.
A is twice longer than B.
A is 3 times of B in length
