The scientists said they examined ___1___ recovered from southern Kenya. Some of the objects are said to date back to 320,000 years ago.

In Lima and Bogotá workers can spend half as much time commuting as they do at the office. 

   在利马和波哥大，工人们的通勤时间是办公室的一半。

参考译文：在利马和波哥大，人们花在上下班路上的时间是上班时间的一半。

解析：这句的重点是as much as time commuting as they do at the office, 强调的是时间的相同。这种表示其实与强调句型一样：It's half time that workers commut as they do at the office。在中文里，并没有相对应的强调句型或表示方式。在中文里，通常会将所强调的成分放在最后，类似英文的“丢尾句”，并多用“是”这种判断性的词。例如“我说的就是你”：I said that was you!
