引进“减少了多少倍”的译法很有必要

Necessity of Introducing the Translation for "Reduce (n-1) times" from English

传统的观点认为,英语倍数的减少只能译成汉语“减少了n-1/n”或“减少到1/n”,本文认为,有必要引进英语“减少了多少倍”的译法。

According to the traditional view, English phrase 'reduce (n-1) times' oughtto be translated into Chinese as 'reduce(n-1)/n' or 'reduced to 1/n'. Here the authorthinks it necessary to introduce' reduce (n-1) times' from English inio Chinese.
