Thanks for answering Abraal! Since the author put "that", you can stay close to the what the author put by also using "that" but expanding the construction a little as K Donnelly showed you, if you wish for structural perfection.

Taña Dalglish Jul 8, 2011:

@ Abraal & K Donnelly Without the sentence (s) that precedes the one in question, it is difficult to determine what it is trying to say. However, in principle, I agree with K. Donnelly that the rendering provided would make more sense. However, what does "this" refer to?
"This implies that sampling from a side of the corridor should (produce a similar abundance THAT/THAN in ) result in an abundance similar to that of the centre of corridor; hence, abundance must not be doubled when observations are made from the side of the corridor." Hope this helps!

Abraal (asker) Jul 8, 2011:

Thanks K Donnelly. The original text says "That"

Bubo Coroman (X) Jul 8, 2011:

please be more precise about the source text does it say "that" or "than"?

K Donnelly Jul 8, 2011:

I think the author is trying to say: ...from the side of a corridor should result in an abundance similar to that of the center of a corridor...

Abraal (asker) Jul 8, 2011:

Por cierto, Técnicamente es del inglés al español :)

Abraal (asker) Jul 8, 2011:

Ése es el texto fuente. Me temo que ése es el original. Me preguntaron si entendía esa parte y como no entendí mucho, les pregunté a ustedes (pensando que habría algo malo en la oración, como that, than, o as, según sugiere Eski).
No hay mucho más que ver :(

De acuerdo con Taña Necesitamos ver el texto fuente.

FVS (X) Jul 7, 2011:

Agree with Taña 1.get the language pair right
2. give us something to translate not what seems an 'orrible mess.

Taña Dalglish Jul 7, 2011:

Language pair? Are you translating to Spanish?

Taña Dalglish Jul 7, 2011:

@ Abraal Por favor, el contexto original .....! What are you trying to say. Neither "that" or "than" work for me ... but I have no idea what you are trying to say. Original text, please...
