<< review queue entry 75345 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> v2 “番”与“倍” 增加一倍，就是增加100％;翻一番，也是增加100％。除了一倍与一番相当外，两倍与两番以上的数字含义就不同了。而且数字越大，差距越大。如增加两倍，就指增加200％；翻两番，就是400％(一番是二，二番是四，三番就是八)，所以说翻两番就是增加了300％，翻三番就是增加了700％。“番”是按几何级数计算的，“倍”是按算术级数计算的。 https://www.stats.gov.cn/zs/tjws/tjbk/202301/t20230101_1912930.html So, based on this, "-fold" is not a correct definition since 三番, for example, is not threefold, but rather an increase of 700%, i.e. *eight* times the original amount, not *three* times. |
