American productivity is declinging in relation to Europe's; the energy expended per unit of production in the US is as much as twice that expended in West Germany.

A) as much as twice that expended in West Germany

B as much as twice that of West Germany's expenditure

C)up to two times of West Germany's expenditure

D)up to two times what West Germans expended

E)up to double the West German expenditure

Ans: A

請問 是 is twice as much as.... or is as much as twice ,which one is correct?

If both are right, what's the difference between them??

另外 ETS有時在使用　twice or two times 會有爭議

因為twice or two times 同時可以表示 兩次 / 兩倍

請問我應該如何使用比較不會產生問題

謝謝

两种用法都可以，as much as twice that expended in western europe 中的“that"指代“energy".

另外，我印象中很少用two times来表示"两次”的

is as much as twice that=twice that加修饰成分。

is twice as much as=as much as加修饰成分
