翻译考试直译误区：倍数翻译
1.A是B的N倍大/长…(或者A比B大/长…N-1倍)
一般有以下两种英语表达方法;
(1) A is N times as large/long (形容词/副词原形) as B. Eg: Asia is four times as large as Europe.
(2) A is N times larger/longer（形容词/副词比较级）than B. Eg: Asia is four times larger than Europe.
(3) A is N times the size/length (形容词/副词的名词形式) of B. Eg: Asia is four times the size of Europe.
以上三句例句的中文翻译均为：亚洲是欧洲的四倍大，或者亚洲比欧洲大三倍，

。小编吐槽：全国的老师都欺骗了我们啊！说实话，看到Asia is four times larger than Europe. 第一个反应是亚洲比欧洲大四倍，有木有？可这个翻译是错的！来自五湖四海的英语小编们个个跳出来指认，从小到大，老师都是这么教的，考试也是这么考的，怎么会错呢？于是，遍查资料后发现，全国的老师好像都错了......还是不死心，这要是错了，简直是推翻了我们从小到大的人生观啊，
