句型 倍数 + as …… as ……
佳中
If you want your children to turn out well, spend twice as much time with them and half as
much money. ——Abigail Van Buren
如果你希望你的孩子健康成长,你与孩子在一起时间要加倍,而花在他们身上的钱要减半。
——阿比盖尔·范布伦
名言中用了两个“倍数 + as …… as ……”结构:twice as much time (as you spend now)
和 half as much money (as you spend now), 后面的 as you spend 被省略。
看一个类似的例句:
The roasted duck we eat at the restaurant yesterday is marvious. I’d like to have it again even if
it costs twice as much. (昨天我们在饭店吃的烤鸭好吃极了,我很想再吃一次,即使花两倍的钱
我也愿意。)
这是美国报纸专栏作家阿比盖尔·范布伦关于教育孩子的一句名言。她还有一句关于教育孩子
的名言作父母的也应该铭记。
If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their
shoulders.
