We got this question:
How to translate into English the phrase "three times less (narrower, quieter, slower)"?
Lyubov Tolstova

"Three times" in English is three times. "Four times" - four times, etc. But "twice" can be twice(that's better) or two times(also possible).

For example: Lucy is twice as fat as John. - Lucy is twice as fat as John.
Hamsters are three times dumber than beavers. - Hamsters are three times more stupid than beavers.

I often tell students in our classes about one thing: if you are not sure how best to say something (for example: twice bigger or twice as big), you know: Google is not only a search engine, but also the greatest friend of the 21st century linguist.

Go to Google and in quotation marks (required in quotation marks!) write: " twice faster than". And look how many results you get. 115 thousand. What does it say? Which is quite acceptable so to speak.

Then type " twice as fast as". How many results? 18 and a half million. And what does this mean? That it is an order of magnitude more natural to say so.

And the last. Here you have learned what to say Cheetahs can run twice as fast as horses better than Cheetahs can run twice faster than horses. (Cheetahs are "cheetahs").

Imagine that you and a friend went to the forest to build a fire. Collected dry branches. Your friend lit a match, raised it up (but didn’t even bring it to the branches) and says: “Oh! The fire is burning! Great!". What do you say to that? Strange, right? After all, lighting a match is only the first stage of kindling a fire. Very important - there will be no fire without a lit match - but only the very, very first. And then you need to work hard so that the fire burns brightly.

It's exactly the same with learning English. Learned how to do it right - great. It was you who lit the match. How about making a bonfire?

Say a bunch of sentences out loud. Try to use this construction in speech immediately and as often as possible. Therefore, here is the task: right today, comment on reality at least twenty times aloud using these constructions (for example, the boss walked by, and you quietly: I'm twice as clever as my boss. And three times more beautiful than his wife.)

Over the weekend I had two English lessons with the first vice-president of one of the leading Russian football clubs. The man is only 34 years old, but he has already achieved a lot in life - and, in particular, speaks English very fluently and correctly. Five minutes into the lesson, I realized the secret of his excellent English. Every word learned during the lesson, he immediately tried to use in speech again and again.

He did it instinctively. Take a look at yourself - maybe you also have such an instinct? If yes, then great! If not, purchase it consciously. And then the "bonfire" will light up brightly - and very quickly - after the "lit match".

Good luck!
See you soon,

Today, patriotic circles often mention the desire of the Anglo-Saxon world to drag us into a war with China. Very similar to that. In this regard, it is often heard from various domestic experts that the Chinese are about to throw hats on us, take all of Siberia and other catastrophic forecasts for themselves. Could this be?

I served 3 years in the Far East in the border troops, studied patriotism on the example of the heroes of Damansky, however, as it seems to me, the devil is not so terrible ...

As you know, China, in addition to being the world's factory, is also famous for its huge population of about 1.347 billion. people (some specialists do not stand on ceremony and talk about 1.5 billion - Russian 145 million people as a statistical error), and the average density is about 140 people per 1 sq. km. km) and a fairly decent territory (3rd in the world after Russia and Canada - 9.56 million sq. km).

There is a story that either an orderly, or some other assistant to Suvorov, writing down a report to the capital about the next victory, according to Alexander Vasilyevich, was surprised at the inflated numbers of enemy soldiers killed. To which, Suvorov allegedly said: “Why feel sorry for their adversaries!”

About the population

The Chinese, followed by the Indians, the Indonesians, and indeed the whole of Asia, have clearly grasped that the population of their countries is the same strategic weapon as bombs and missiles.

No one can reliably say what the actual demographic situation is in Asia, in this case, in China. All data is estimated, at best, the information of the Chinese themselves (the last census in 2000).

Surprisingly, despite the government's policy of the last 20 years aimed at limiting the birth rate (one family - one child), the population is still growing at 12 million people a year, according to experts, due to the huge base (i.e. initial) digit.

I'm certainly not a demographer, but 2+2=4. If you have 100 people: two died in a year, one was born, a year later 99. If 100 million or 1 billion, and the ratio of births and deaths is negative, then what is the difference in the initial figure, the result will be negative. The Chinese and demographic experts are paradoxically positive!

A very confusing question. For example, in the monograph by Korotaev, Malkov, Khalturin "Historical Macrodynamics of China" there is an interesting table:

1845 - 430 million;
1870 - 350;
1890 - 380;
1920 - 430;
1940 - 430,
1945 - 490.

I came across an old atlas, which said that in 1939, i.e. before the 2nd World War, in China there were 350 million people. One does not need to be an expert to see the huge discrepancies and the absence of any coherent system in the behavior of the Chinese population.

That fall on 80 million over 25 years, then growth by 50 million over 30 years, then no change over 20 years. The main thing is that the initial figure 430 million taken absolutely from the ceiling who considered their adversaries. But the fact seems to be obvious - for 95 years from 1845 to 1940 the number of Chinese has not changed, as it was, and remains.

But over the next 72 years (taking into account disastrous wars, hunger and poverty, more than 20 years of containment policy) growth of almost a billion!

For example, everyone knows that the USSR lost 27 million people in the Great Patriotic War, but few people know that the second country in terms of human losses - China - 20 million. Human. Some experts (perhaps like our Chubais) talk about 45 million. And despite such monstrous losses and all kinds of hardships from 1940 to 1945, a huge increase in 60 million.! Moreover, in addition to the World War, there was also a civil one in China, and 23 million people now live in Taiwan, who were considered Chinese in the 40th year.

However, as a result of the formation PRC in 1949, the population of the PRC already amounted to 550 million. Human. For 4 years, we do not count those who fled to Taiwan, and growth is simply galloping 60 million people. Then there was the Cultural Revolution with countless repressions and the eating of sparrows in the famine years, and the population grew faster and faster.

And yet, we almost believe and count on our knees. 430 in 1940. This is a lot, of course. 430 million. Approximately half of the woman (in Asia, women are even less, but let). About 200. Of these, grandmothers and girls - another 2/3. Women give birth approximately from 15 to 40 = 25 years, and live beyond 70. We get 70 million. We believe that there are no childless and lesbians in China, + allowance for my demographic unprofessionalism = 70 million childbearing women in 1940.

How many children did these young ladies have to give birth to, so that in 9 years there would be 490 million Chinese, a 15% increase? War, devastation, no medicine, the Japanese are atrocious ... According to science, if my memory serves me right, in order not to simply reduce the population, you need to give birth to 3-3.5. And an additional 90 million for 70 million women in labor, another 1.2 people. Physically, for 9 years, 4-5 children is not easy, but possible, but ....

The Internet writes that according to the 1953 census 594 million, and in 1949 not 490, but 549 million. Over 4 years forty five million. In 13 years, the population has grown from 430 to 594, by 164 million, more than a third. Thus, 70 million women in 13 years gave birth to 3.5 for each for reproduction + about 2.5 (163:70) = 6 .

Someone will object that in Russia there was also a boom at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. But in Russia at that time, the Japanese did not massacre 20 million people + 20 million did not flee to Taiwan. And, returning to the table, what prevented the Chinese from increasing by at least 10 million in the previous 100 years? Immediately, in 13 years, 164 million, as if from a bush, into hunger and war. Yes, I almost forgot, such trifles as the Korean War, where about 150 thousand more childbearing Chinese men were killed, are completely ridiculous to consider. In the following decades, the Chinese bred and multiplied simply beyond measure.

I think they their Chinese like Fed dollars, just draw from the air. Nobody argues, there are a lot of Chinese, as well as Indians and Indonesians, there are still plenty of Nigerians, Iranians, Pakistanis. But many many strife. And the Indians - well done, picked up the initiative in time.

Now a little about the territory. China is big, but... Take a look at the administrative map of China. There are so-called autonomous regions (Ary) in China. There are 5 of them, but now we are talking about 3: Xinjiang Uighur, Inner Mongolia and Tibetan.

These three ARs occupy respectively 1.66 million sq. km, 1.19 million sq. km. km and 1.22 million sq. km, only about 4 million sq. km, almost half of the territory of China! Lives in these areas 19,6 million people 23,8 million and 2,74 million, total about 46 million people, about 3% population of the PRC. Of course, these areas are not the most wonderful for living (mountains, deserts, steppes), but no worse than Outer Mongolia or our Tuva or, for example, Kyrgyzstan or Kazakhstan.

Most Chinese live between the Yellow River and the Yangtze and on the warm coast (South and Southeast). Speaking of Mongolia. If Inner Mongolia is larger in territory than France and Germany combined, then Mongolia-Outer Mongolia is almost 1.5 times larger than Inner Mongolia = 1.56 million square meters. km. There is practically no population of 2.7 million people (density is 1.7 people per sq. km, in the PRC, let me remind you, 140, including the above-named Ares, where the density is respectively: 12, 20 and 2 people / sq. km; in Mesopotamia lives under 300 people per square kilometer, cockroaches and only, according to statistics).

The resources, for which the Chinese allegedly go to Siberia, at the risk of running into Russian atomic bombs, in Mongolia, and in Kazakhstan the same, are full, but there are no bombs. Not only that, why not move the idea of ​​​​reunification-unification of the Mongolian people under the wing of the Celestial Empire?

There are 150-200 thousand Chinese in Russia. Total! The total population of the Khabarovsk, Primorsky Territories, the Amur Region and the Jewish Autonomous Region (about 5 million) cannot be compared, of course, with the border province of Heilongjiang (38 million), but still.

However, the Mongols are sleeping peacefully (the Chinese and Russians in Mongolia combined 0.1% of the population - about 2 thousand somewhere), the Kazakhs are also not very tense.

It seems to me that I need to be afraid Burma with its 50 million population and a fairly large territory of 678 thousand square meters. km. The same South China billion hangs over it, it is in Myanmar that the dictatorial regime is, they are the villains of the Chinese minority (1.5 million !! people) oppress. And, most importantly, the equator is near, the sea coast is huge and warm, warm.

But even the Burmese comrades, as they say, do not worry, and we are in a panic.

Well, okay, the Chinese communists are afraid of the Americans to put things in order in Taiwanese affairs, but Vietnam frankly runs up, shouting that it is not afraid, constantly reminds of the last scuffle, Laos and Cambodia undertook to supervise, the newly minted Big Brother. China and Vietnam are arguing about the oil islands, and so is the world.

Weird Chinese. The people are already sitting on each other's heads, and they are not even developing their vast territories, not to mention weak neighbors such as Burma and Mongolia. But they will definitely attack Buryatia, the 150,000th expeditionary force has already been sent out, half of them got stuck in Moscow for some reason, someone in warm Vladivostok, but this is nonsense, at the first call - to Siberia.

Well, perhaps that's all, as a first approximation.

Additional thoughts on this...

Earth population rapidly declining. It is possible to estimate this reduction at least by the real population China. Viktor Mekhov wrote a very interesting article in which he argues that the population of China 3-4 times less than we were taught to think (there is a very interesting video there). Surely the same can be said about India, and about other obviously poor countries, with a “large” population that is unaffordable ...

Checking this is easy enough: you need to go to Wikipedia and sum up the population of the 20 largest cities China. And you get an impressive number of about 230 million people (including the population of the districts). Where do the rest of the people live? Where does the rest of the billion live? In the countryside? Do you live in cottages? Where do they grow food then? In the mountains of Tibet, which occupy almost half of the country? But they need a lot of food, if you believe that 1 billion 340 million people live in China!

Let's look further. Duropedia reports that in 2010, China produced 546 million tons of grain, despite the fact that the sown area in China is 155,7 million hectares And to ensure the normal nutrition of the population, the country needs to grow an average of about 1 ton of grain per year per person. Part of this grain is used to feed livestock, and part is used to make bread and other needs. So China is clearly not self-sufficient in grain, if you believe that it has such a large population. Or it provides if the population there is 3 times less than it is considered.

By the way, you can easily check according to the US. And immediately everything will be clear and understandable! See: in USA collected on average about 60 million tons of wheat per year from an area of ​​about 20 million hectares. In addition, they collect 334 million tons of corn from 37.8 million hectares, and 91,47 million tons of soybeans from an area of ​​30.9 million hectares. Thus, the total grain harvest is about 485 million tons from an area of ​​about 89 million hectares. And the US population is only about 300 million people! Surplus cereals are exported.

This immediately shows that the lack of grain production in China is about 800 million tons per year, which are practically nowhere, if you believe that the population is 1.4 billion people. And if you do not believe in this fairy tale, then everything falls into place, and the population of China should be no more than 500 million. Human!

And one more clue: Wikipedia says that dOlya urban population in 2011 for the first time was 51,27% , which also confirms the hypothesis that the real population of China does not exceed 500 million people.

The same thing happens with India! Let's count the population of the 20 largest cities India. The answer will surprise you very much: it is only about 75 million people. 75 million people! Where are the rest billion two hundred million live? The territory of the country is a little more 3 million sq. km. Apparently, they live in nature with a density of about 400 people per 1 sq. km.

The population density in India is twice that of Germany. But in Germany - continuous cities throughout the territory. And in India, in cities, he allegedly lives about 5% population. For comparison: in Russia 73% , with population density 8,56 person/sq.km. But in USA the proportion of the urban population is 81,4% , with population density 34 person/sq. km.

Can the official information about India be true? Of course not! The population density in rural areas is always only a few people per sq. km. km, i.e. 100 times lower than in India. And this is a clear confirmation that the population in India 5-10 times less than is written in official sources.

In addition, according to Wikipedia, almost 70% Indians live in rural areas, thus, we counted 75 million urban residents are about 30% the population of India. Therefore, the total population of this proportion will be about 250 million people, which is much more true than the fairy tale about a billion.

When it seems to us that we eat little, we need to start a diary and start writing everything that we ate and drank there. At the same time, you must be as honest as possible with you and add to the list each cookie and the candy we ate, every cup of coffee, all the sauces and seasonings. After that, you can look at your diet from the outside and understand where and how you eat wrong, at what time of the day you eat a lot. In addition, nutritionists claim that those who keep a food diary automatically begin to lose weight, even if they do not follow any diet. You can get a large notebook, but it is better that it is a small notebook that you can carry with you. It is also possible to use stickers, for example, stick them on the refrigerator. You will see the first results of such an innovation in the mirror in a week.

2. We are not lazy, we cut food

The work of our brain is focused on the visual quantity, and not on the weight of food. Therefore, if we cut the same cucumber into thin rings, we will eat much more than a whole cucumber. In addition, it is recommended to lay out products on different plates, radishes, for example, on one, and tomatoes on another. In addition, I recommend stringing one piece per fork, so there will be a feeling that a lot has been eaten.

3. Take your time

It is recommended to eat slowly! This statement should be taken as an axiom by everyone. Conscious eating will not only reduce the calorie content of your food, but also help your digestion, which will save you unnecessary stomach problems. It is best to eat in silence, without watching TV, reading books and a computer, because usually in this case, lunch, which should be eaten for 20 minutes, is eaten up in five. 20 minutes is the optimal lunch time to aim for.

4. Breakfast? Oh sure!

If you haven't realized the importance of breakfast yet, now is the time. If the human body does not receive the necessary amount of energy in the morning, it will inevitably require its replenishment during the day, so a person who does not have breakfast will eat 2 times more than one who pampered himself in the morning. Breakfast, contrary to popular belief, should be high in calories, as its energy should be enough for almost the whole day. In addition, metabolism works better in the morning than at other times of the day, so you can afford fruits and even sweets in the morning (up to 12 hours).

5. I want a cake

If today is not a holiday, but you want a cake, eat it. If you eat only salad during the day, and in the evening you can not restrain yourself and eat cake, you will still consume much more calories than if you ate cake all at once. There are people who eat everything and don't get fat. Have you thought about why this happens? The fact is that such people listen to their body and eat only when they really want to. In addition, such people indulge themselves, and in a restaurant they will choose not a hamburger, but a delicious second course and a glass of wine.

6. Gum? Be!

Eating gum instead of eating is not recommended, it is not food. But you can chew it during a break, when you want to have something to eat, you are unlikely to want to add any product to it, such as sweets or seeds.

7. PP
First, give up spices and seasonings, including salt, as they excite the appetite. We use more protein in food, as well as slow carbohydrates. We eat more eggs, kefir, meat, seafood, cheese, cottage cheese, whole grain bread. If you eat in a cafe, order half a serving rather than a serving, but be guided by your own indicators. Be sure to eat soups.

8. Is there a lot or a little?

Many people who are losing weight are advised to eat from small plates. However, I advise you to focus on the calorie content of food. You can eat a bowl of chips and a bowl of meat, but they won't be the same thing.

9. Where do I get caught?

Examine your weaknesses. Don't worry, everyone has them. If you love McDonald's, try to avoid it. Come up with an excuse why you will no longer take sweets for tea. Find a safe substitute for your favorite meals. If you are trying to lose weight, then instead of a piece of cake, it is better to eat steak . If you want fatty, treat yourself to a piece of cheese or sesame seeds. Eat sodas as little as possible.

You do not have enough rights to comment.

Many psychologists have tried to study the reasons why, in the last weeks of pregnancy and after the birth of a baby, a woman is worried about some kind of unconscious anxiety, passivity and a feeling of loss of control over the situation appear. All this brings great grief to the lady, who, it would seem, just a year ago was so confident in her strengths, capabilities and actions. There comes a turning point, there is a feeling of unusualness, which every day develops into anxiety and confusion. Maybe the birth of this little long-awaited miracle makes a young mother identify herself with her parents, the fast pace of life, farewell to a carefree life? Psychologists say that during this period, conflicts and traumas that the girl received in childhood or adolescence are reactivated.
