二楼给的 factor 定义很好:
  "Factor = a quantity by which a stated quantity is multiplied or divided"   <1>
"倍数" 说明也对:
     increased by a factor of 3 = multiplied by 3 = 乘 3 = 增加3
  https://www.answers.com/Q/What_d ... _a_factor_of_4_mean
"减少3倍" 就不对了... 根据原定义 <1>
     reduced by a factor of 3 = divided by 3 = 除以 3 = 原来数的 1/3
  https://www.whatis1q5a.com/174/w ... ctor-of-4-mean.html
提示:
  - "倍" 就是增加,不要听 "__减少速度是___[减少速度]的两倍" 胡言,养成坏习惯来形容减少
  - 像 "__ is the best"  或  "__ is better"  都是无稽之谈
  - 日常英语不说 "increased/reduced by a factor of __" 说 [以股票价为例 "rise/fall by __%"  <= "__" = 原数外加/内扣 多少多少
  - 增加2倍=double the original; 3倍=triple; 4倍=quadruple; __倍 =__ times  the original
  - 去了一半=cut to half of the original; 去了2/3=cut to a third of the original
  - 去了3/4=cut to a quarter of the original; 去了90%=cut to a tenth of the original

phu_grassman: 金币+10, 翻译EPI+1, Thanksgiving.应该为"减少了2/3"以及“增加了2倍”。 2014-08-25 15:07:07
Factor = a quantity by which a stated quantity is multiplied or divided, so as to indicate an increase or decrease in a measurement

"by a factor of " is used commonly to mean the same as "multiplied by" or "divided by."

reduce the production by a factor of 3. 减少3倍
is increased by a factor of 3. 增加3倍 (中文可表示为:增加了2倍或增加到3倍)

Hi,小草大神:


我觉得第二个是增加了3倍. 感觉上是从X变成了4X。

看这边,有一些native speaker的意见。供参考:[进去之后往下拖,可以看到论坛里面的一些讨论]
https://www.wordreference.com/definition/increase%20by
https://www.wordreference.com/definition/reduce%20by
https://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=2341345


貌似我错了,重新google了下,似乎

increased by a factor of A = multiplied by A,
reduced/decreased by a factor of A = divided by A.

看看这两个,应该是native speaker写的吧?

不能说减少3倍哦,减完1倍就为o了,只能说减少了几分之几。
