英语中表示倍数的单词
英语中表示倍数的单词
Double 、treble 、triple 、quadruple 这四个词在英语中用来表达不同的倍数,均可以做名词、动词、形容词和副词,用法很灵活。其中,treble 和 triple 都是“三倍”的意思,大部分情况下可以互换使用,不过在日常生活中,triple 的使用频率更高一些,而 treble 还有“男童高音、最高音部”的意思。节目中我们会通过这四个词的常用意思来为大家举例讲解。
1、关于英语中关于倍数的表达问题,quarter 来自于拉丁语,的确有“四倍”的意思,但在现代英语中,这个词很少用,所以我们主要对 double 、treble 、triple 和 quadruple 进行讲解。这些词在英语中用来表达不同的倍数,其中,treble 和 triple 都是“三倍”的意思,大部分情况下可以互换使用,只不过 triple 的使用频率更高一些,treble 还有“男童高音、最高音部”的意思。Quadruple 表示“四倍”的意思。这几个词都可以做名词、动词、形容词和副词,用法很灵活。
2、我们先从 double 开始,这个词表示“两倍、双份”或“使(什么)增加一倍”。来听几个例句。
Examples
I booked a double room for only 100 yuan.
我订了一个双人间,只花了100块。
The editor thinks they can double the magazine circulation by the end of the year. 主编觉得他们能在年底把杂志发行量增加一倍。
I always have a double espresso in the morning.
我早上总是喝双份浓缩咖啡。
Thirty is the double of fifteen.
30是15的两倍。
Feifei
另外,单词 double 在影视领域还指“替身演员”。比如这个例句。
Example
He worked as a double for Daniel Craig in the film.
他在这部影片中担任丹尼尔·克雷格的替身。
3、接下来,我们说说 treble 和 triple 。这两个词都表示“三倍,增加两倍”,可以互相替换。在日常用语中,triple 的使用频率要高于 treble 。值得一提的是,在美式英语中,表达“三倍”只用 triple ,treble 只用来表示“男童高音、最高音部”。我们来听几个例句。
Examples
My rent trebled last month.
上个月,我的房租涨了两倍。
Her son has a fine treble voice.
她儿子的高音很美。
The company can triple its earnings after the acquisition.
这次收购以后,公司的收入能增加两倍(也就是原来的三倍)。
One is supposed to receive triple pay for working on public holidays.
在节假日加班应该得到三倍工资。
4、quadruple 。这个词表示“四倍,四部分,增加三倍”的意思,词性和用法与前面的 double 和 triple 相似。需要注意的是,“增加三倍”其实也就是中文中常说的“翻两番”,所以这两种说法都可以用 quadruple 来表示。我们来听两个例句。
Examples
Our exports to the US have quadrupled in the past three years.
过去三年间,我们对美国的出口额增加了三倍(也就是翻了两番)。
The suspect of the quadruple murder was arrested yesterday.
那四宗谋杀案的嫌疑犯昨天被逮捕了。
