Ask & Learn聞問切英語口語:There Is More to Life Than Money
讀者陳小姐問："There is more to life than money" 是什么意思？"There is more to ... than ..." 是不是跟 "the more ..., the more ... " 一樣是固定句型？
There is more to A than B 可以說是一固定的句型。直譯過來，就是 A 不單只是 B。言下之意，就是除了 B 以外，A 還包含其它的東西。There is more to life than money 就是指生命除了金錢以外，還有其他的考慮。

There is more to martial arts than brute strength.
要學(xué)好功夫，不能只憑一股蠻力。
There is more to love than sex.
愛情豈止在于性愛。
有時(shí)為了加強(qiáng)語氣，我們還會(huì)在 B 前面多加上 "just" 一字。因此 陳小姐的句子也可改寫成 There is more to life than just money。以上的例子也可以改寫成 "there is more to martial arts than just brute strength" 和 "there is more to love than just sex"。
