这里一个正常there be量化结构的变体,常用语
There is more than one man是一个正常量化结构,表示有不止一人
There is more than a job正常我们依然理解为量化的不止一份工作,但在有些语境中,开始抽象化
There is a lot more to life than a job. 明显的抽象化:生活中有很多事情比工作重要/工作只是生活的一部分(从量的比较转到程度/影响来了)
小结:
There is more to X than Y.
表示Y对于X来说,仅仅是其一部分(不应把关注点集中在Y上,在有的语境中指Y的重要性不高)
以下为临时自编的各种变化例句
There is more to life than just working.
There is more to life than what you think.
There is more to life than meets the eye.
