that --SAT语法
Someone living in a technological,consumption-oriented culture probably taxes the environment at a rate many times (that of a country such as Myanmar.)
the correct answer is:that of someone living in a country like Myanmar
答
翻译：是……的（几）倍
在这道题中：that of someone living in a country like Myanmar 翻译成‘是一个住在别的国家,比如缅甸,的人的许多倍’.'that of'在句子里指的是‘rate’.
如果去掉‘that of',那么这句话就会变成:someone living in a technological,consumption-oriented culture probably taxes the environment at a rate that is many times the rate of someone living in a country such like Myanmar.
所以在这句话中‘that of’代替了‘the rate of'.
