CO2 output from shipping is twice more than airlines. A is N times larger（longer，heavier…）than B. A is larger（longer，heavier…）than B by N times. A is N times as large（long，heavy…）as B. 这三句英语的含义都是“A的大小(长度、重量……)是B的N倍”，或者“A比B大（长、重……）N-1倍”。 例如： 去年这个公司手机的销量增长了近一倍（为原来的两倍）。 The sales volume of portable phones of this company increased nearly twice last year.
