核心问题
[In one day, people have to find food for over 250,000 mouths more.] Just think how many more there will be in one year!
词典解答
这里的 more 的含义, 是与 many more + 复数名词和 much more + 单数不可数名词结构中的 more 一样(见 more , many more)。因为在意义清楚的条件下, more 之后的名词有时是可以省略的。在上面的句子里, 显然是省略了 mouths(嘴)。再如:
-
I'd like some more, please. 我想再要一点。
-
I'll take three more. 我再买三个。
-
We need a few more. 我还需要一些。
[句意]请想一想在一年后还会出现多少张嘴要吃的。
