关于more than的理解

We got only thirty dollars more for them than what we had paid for them.

请问下这里的more than如何理解

我理解的中文意思是 我们只赚了30块,远小于我们付出的。但more than是多于的意思.

We got only thirty dollars more for them than what we had paid for them.
这句的着重点在于:作者认为自己赚的太少了,比如他们当时养牛花费的成本是1000美元,结果卖了牛才赚了1030美元,多赚了30美元。这里的thirty dollars more for them than......指的是赚的钱比付出的成本多30元,是指那个利润。

把其中不影响分析的部分砍掉,变成

We got thirty dollars more than what we had paid.

假设支付了70美元,即what we had paid。收获了100美元,即we got 100 dollars。那么产生的比较差就是30 dollars。

如:我有5本书,你有3本。比较差为 I have two more books than you do. 或I have two books more than you do.

所以核心意思为:only挣了30美元
