A thousand times stronger than 比…强壮一百倍
解析
要说『A比B更…』时，我们常用这样的句型：
A +be动词+比较级+than +B
*He is stronger than you.
他比你强壮。
如果要讲到A比B强几倍的时候呢，我们可以在比较级前面加入『数字+times』，表示『….倍』。
A +be动词+数字+times+比较级+than +B
*He is a thousand times stronger than you.
他比你强壮一千倍。
小叮咛：
记得如果是超过两个音节的形容词，改成比较级的时候要加more喔！
*Helen is ten times more beautiful than you.
海伦比你美十倍。
