Language points
1.This elephant weighs many times more than this panda.
(1)weigh在此作不及物动词,意为“重……;重量为……”,其名词形式为weight(重量)。对重量进行提问用What do/does sth.weigh?/What's the weight of...?/How heavy is...?
例:What's the weight of the box?这个箱子有多重?
拓展 weigh还可作及物动词,意为“称重,称……的重量;权衡”
名词weight 重量,
overweight 超重 lose weight 减肥。
(2)这是一个含比较级的句子,表示“某物是某物的……倍……(大/重/长等)”。
其句型结构为:sth. is+倍数+比较级+than...
注意 本句中的time是可数名词,意为“倍数”。
常见倍数的表达法:
A is +倍数+比较级+ than+ B
“A比B……多少倍”
A is +倍数+ as + adj.+as B
“A是B的多少倍……”。
本句还可改写成:This elephant
