1 as many voters identify themselves as in...语法上对吗

 And today, almost twice as many voters identify themselves as independents than as members of either the Democratic or Republican parties.

这句话语法上对不对?

这个句子其实是用than和twice as many呼应。咋看上去是错误的,因为twice as many本应和as呼应。但比较分句省略后的结果为as sth作宾补,再用as呼应twice as many, 比较分句就成了as as sth. 二个as 相邻是很别扭的,于是用than替代了as. 这种情况与prefer的用法类似。

我们知道prefer的用法为,prefer A to B. A和B通常为名词。但prefer也可以后接不定式作宾语,prefer to do A to to do B, 二个to相邻很别扭,因此用than取代to, 得到prefer to do A than to do B.

twice通常不修饰more, 如果是three times,结构就直接用three times more...than as sth.了。

我认为,这个句子在 than 之前漏掉了与之对应的某个“比较词”(由more 或 -er 构成),或者,把 than 改为 rather than,意思是“而不是”,以排除后者。即:

And today, almost twice as many voters identify themselves as independents rather rather than as members of either the Democratic or Republican parties.

1. twice as many voters 后面省略了已知的比较项:as other people (指其他类别的人)。

2. identify themselves as independents:为 identify ... as ...“认为...是...”,as 部分作宾补。

3. rather than:而不是

4. as members 与 as independents 是并列成分,由准并列连词 rather than 连接。


And today, almost twice as many voters identify themselves as independents rather than as members of either the Democratic or Republican parties.

【翻译】如今,几乎两倍的选民认为自己是独立的选民,而不是民主党或共和党的成员。

我还觉得后边儿的parties应该改成party。
