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.
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
