用法說明
How is "More" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "More"?
more + 形容詞 vs. more of a + 名詞
- more + 形容詞 直接用來比較或加強形容詞的程度，例如 more interesting（更有趣）。
- more of a + 名詞 則是用來表示「更像是一個...」或「更偏向於一種...」，後面接可數名詞單數。
- 兩者結構不同，表達的語意焦點也不同：一個修飾性質，一個描述類別或身份。
對比例句： EN: This book is more interesting than the movie. 翻譯: 這本書比電影更有趣。
EN:He is more of a thinker than a talker.
翻譯:與其說他是個健談者，不如說他更像個思考者。

引述
在口語中，常以 "more" 引述或補充他人說過的話，帶有「還有」、「而且」的語氣。 EN: A: I need eggs, milk... B: And more coffee, please. 翻譯: A: 我需要雞蛋、牛奶... B: 還有，請再來點咖啡。

EN:I'm more tired than hungry right now.

停頓填充
在思考或組織語句時，有時會用 "more" 或 "more... like..." 作為短暫的停頓填充詞。 EN: His style is... more... unconventional, let's say. 翻譯: 他的風格嘛... 該說是... 比較非傳統吧。
EN:It's not a problem, more of a minor inconvenience.
翻譯:這不算問題，更像是個小麻煩。
正式寫作注意：上述口語用法，尤其是「停頓填充」和過於隨意的「語氣強調」，在學術論文、商業報告等正式書面寫作中應避免使用，應改用更精確、結構完整的句子。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "More"?Which "More" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I need much more time.
✓I need much more time.
雖然 'much more' 是正確的，但許多學習者會誤以為 'much' 和 'more' 不能一起使用，或誤用 'many more' 來修飾不可數名詞。'much more' 用於不可數名詞，'many more' 用於可數名詞複數。
×This problem is more easy.
✓This problem is easier.
單音節和部分雙音節形容詞（如 easy, big, happy）的比較級通常以 -er 結尾，而非使用 'more'。'more' 通常用於三個音節或以上的形容詞（如 more beautiful, more difficult）。
×There were over 100 people at the event.
✓There were more than 100 people at the event.
在正式書寫或表示精確數量比較時，通常使用 'more than' 而非 'over'。'over' 多用於口語或表示空間位置。
×The situation is getting more and more worse.
✓The situation is getting worse and worse.
當形容詞本身已有比較級形式（如 worse, better）時，應使用 'worse and worse' 或 'better and better'，而非 'more and more + 比較級'，否則會造成重複比較。
×I have no more friends here.
✓I have no more friends here. / I don't have any more friends here.
此句文法正確，但學習者常誤以為 'no more' 不能與可數名詞連用。實際上 'no more' 可修飾可數與不可數名詞，但語氣較 'not...any more' 強烈且正式。
×I want a more of that cake.
✓I want more of that cake.
'more' 用作名詞表示「更多（的量）」時，為不可數名詞，前面不加不定冠詞 'a' 或 'an'。
