如：He has more books than he can read. 他的藏书之多使他不可能读完。
The beauty of Hang Zhou is more than I can describe.杭州的美丽非语言所能描绘。
有时，单独使用more也表达一种否定意义。
如：More imaginative might have done more with what they had.
(只要拥有他们所有，)任何人都会干得比他们出色(他们干得不出色)。
I gave you credit for being more sensible.我没想到你竟这样蠢!
That is more than I can tell.那我就不能多讲了。
That is more than you can do.这是你所不及的。
像类似这样的句子，如果仅仅按照字面直译，就可能违背原意，达不到表达效果，因此汉语句子中要包含否定含义。
