as for the difficult grammar problem, it's pretty thrilling. Take the first "as" as hint, a, b and e could be thrown away. c or d? I got confused about the "would", why not "did" in place of "constituted"? then the WWI and 1960 gave me another hint, so I confirm to myself, it's d. What a sentence! It killed so many of my brain cells ((

“3 times as many E was sold as N”的意思,是3N=E,还是N=3E
Don't be confused, the answer is E=3N.

Take a similiar example from one of my courseworks last semester:
the team should sign at least three times as many strikers as fullbacks
the expression is xs >= 3 xf. If not convinced, you can refer to

谢谢老狼  感动不已

do you think that sentence is equally applicable for the last one?

“3 times as many E was sold as N”的意思?
我认为应该是E=3N。见OG 168:
Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces (twice as many apples as it did) 1910.
含在两个as中的量是第二个as后面量的第一个as前的修饰词的倍数。

老狼的理解很正确。B是一个定语从句结构,that....修饰什么呢?ideas?relations?仔细想想还是the writings和the book对称比较好

“3 times as many E was sold as N”的意思,是3N=E,还是N=3E
还待大牛来解
____________________________________________________________________________
it is 3E=N, the explaination in jj is wrong. i looked up its meaning in both feifei' lecture handout and zhangdaozhen grammar book and found feifei's explaination is also wrong. if anyone has different idea, please look up it in any grammar book.

我理解:
(1)
D正确是因为原句要进行如下比较:
The books constituted as fundamental a challenge as the writings of the radical writers of the 1960’s (would)(constitute a fundamental challenge).
The books与the writings对等。

(2)
以下关西对否, 这问题我已苦恼很久
I have as beautiful a cat as you do--可以
= I have as beautiful a cat as (one that) belongs to you--不可以,因为是比较宾语cat,AS之后的one作主语与I对等,不能与cat比较。

= I have a cat as beautiful as (one that) belongs to you--可以,因为这里cat与one比。相当于Ihave a cat (that is) as beautiful as one (that is beautiful) that belongs to you.

= I have a cat as beautiful as yours does这句不对:yours与I不对等。

= I have a cat as beautiful as you do--不可以,cat与you不能比。
I have as beautiful a cat as you 我的猫跟你一样漂亮--不可以,必须补出do: do you或you do,否则是cat与you比。
= I have a cat as beautiful as you (are)--不可以cat与you比。

本月数学jj的题目
“3 times as many E was sold as N”的意思,是3N=E,还是N=3E
还待大牛来解

应是:E=3N
