标题[文法] 一些经济学人文法用法请益
时间Wed Dec 19 19:59:15 2018
出处： The Economist_Autism
原文：
Autism affects people's social behaviour and communication,
and may impair their ability to learn things. All this is well known.
Less familiar to most, though, are the gastrointestinal problems
associated with the condition. (*1)
The intestines of children with autism often harbour bacteria
different from those in the guts of the neurotypical. As a consequence,
such people are more than three times as likely as others (*2)
are to develop serious alimentary canal disorders at some point in their lives.
Unfortunate though this is, (*3)
the upset gut floras of autistic people are seen by some investigators
as the key to the condition and to treating it.
问题：
(*1) 倒装句？ 使用倒装的手法是为了强调 less familiar to most ?
(*2) 此句倍数比较级的句构分析是对的吗？
A be-V ( more than ) 倍数词 ＋ as + 原级 adj + as + B
＝ A be-V ( more than ) 倍数词 ＋ 比较级 adj + than + B
-> such people are more than three times more likely than others
这样改写是对的吗？
还是有用到 more than + 倍数词，应该要搭配 as….as 句构比较好？
(*3) 也是倒装句？ 为啥这句可以倒装？( 是因为要强调否定字在句首才倒装？)
为什麽不直接写个 unfortunately 就好？
谢谢 ：）

1F：→ negocios: 2. are as likely as are？ 12/20 02:04

10F：→ dunchee: 1. Yes. Yes. 12/21 03:45
11F：→ dunchee: 2. "more than"只是为了表达是多於三倍(只是修饰three ti 12/21 03:45
12F：→ dunchee: mes)。要方便理解的话，比如我挑个5倍好了(5倍符合"more 12/21 03:46
13F：→ dunchee: than three times)-> 12/21 03:46
14F：→ dunchee: "..., such people are five times as likely as 12/21 03:46

21F：→ dunchee: 惯用法。另外就是单独一个"unfortunately"意思较广/模糊 12/21 03:47
22F：→ dunchee: ，不如原惯用表达的意思集中 12/21 03:48
23F：→ PsycheBeast: I got it! 非常感谢D大的大解惑以及建议～收获良多^^ 12/21 16:07
