the sooner the better

[robert5153]

日本語ではどうやって "the sooner the better" とか "the more orders we get, the more money we make" などという意味を表すのでしょうか？面白いレッソンだなと思います。そんなレッソンあったのですか？だったら、どれでしょうか？なかったら、良いレッソンのグラマーポイントでしょうかね。

ほど is useful for these 'to the degree that something happens, something else happens to the same degree' expressions. But "The sooner the better" is a bit idiomatic, and in some instances would be better served with a different construction.

That's exactly my point. I'm wonder what that different construction might be.[/quote]
