问题: 这两句话哪句对?

The population of America is as 15 times as that of Australia.

The population of America is 15 times that of that of Australia.

解答:

两句话都不对!
记住英语中倍数词的表达方法:
1.A is +倍数词+ as +adj./adv.原级+ as +B
2.A is +倍数词+ adj./adv.比较级+ than +B
3.A is +倍数词+ the+ 度量名词(size, weight, height, depth, width, length) +of +B
正确表达应该如下:
The population of America is 15 times as large as that of Australia.
The population of America is 15 times larger than that of Australia.
