(24209-!-item-!-188;#058&001071) In the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, which more than doubled the country's size and that brought its western border within reach of the Pacific Ocean. (A) In the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, which more than doubled the ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ country's size and that brought (C) With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the United States acquired 828,000 square miles for about four cents an acre, more than doubling its size and ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bringing Key: C A) which不能只帶整件事情,這點可以解! 我想請問的是在表達倍數的觀念,超過兩倍應該是 "more than double" ?! C中的表達方式是 "more than doubling" 這樣表達算是正確嗎?! 印象中表達倍數用doubling / tripling 應該是錯的吧?! 有點困惑 若有錯誤請指正, 謝謝 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 123.195.8.32

double 可當動詞、名詞、形容詞、副詞,都做二倍解。
