    247. The first study to compare honesty across a range of communications media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails.

    译文

    对一系列通信媒介进行诚信比较的第一项研究发现,人们打电话时说谎的可能性是写电子邮件的两倍。

    点睛

    该句的主干为study has found that,其中to compare honesty across a range of communications media为study的后置定语,that引导的是found的宾语从句,还包含twice as likely...as的比较结构。tell lies/a lie为固定搭配,意为“说谎”。

    a range of在句中意为“一系列”,此外该短语还有“各种各样”之意。如:

    Our discussion covers a range of topics. 我们的讨论包含各种话题。

    考点归纳

    由as构成的搭配表示比较概念时具体用法如下:

    表示原级比较,也可用作the same...as...,否定形式为not as/so...as...。如:

    The work is not as/so difficult as you think. 工作没有你想的那么难。

    A+倍数或几分之几+as+adj./adv.+as+B表示“A是B的几倍或几分之几”。如:

    This book is twice as thick as that one. 这本书的厚度是那本书的两倍。

    特殊结构A is to B what/as X is to Y表示“A对于B相当于X对于Y”。如:

    Air is to us what/as water is to fish. 我们与空气的关系就像鱼和水的关系。
