核心问题
（1）We have a third as many students in our class as we had last term.
(2) We have a third as many students again in our class as we had last term.
请问这两个句子有什么区别？
词典解答
句(1)的意思是:我们班上的学生是上学期的三分之一。在 a third as many(...)之后加上 again 之后,表示 more(...) than(比……多三分之一)。句(2)的意思是:我们班上的学
生比上学期多了三分之一。
a third as much again 的含义也是如此。
Houses cost a third as much again this year as they did five years ago. 今年的房价比五年前高了三分之一。 (参见 again )
(参见 again )
as many... as + 从句 见 as much (many)... as
