英语词汇“more's the pity”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

f. Modifying nouns of quality, condition, action, etc.: greater in degree or extent; more full. Now chiefly in (the) more's the pity.In modern use, the sense of more when qualifying an abstract noun is usually ‘a greater amount of, a greater level of’ (see sense A. 2a). It is unlikely, for example, that instances in which the adjective is adverbially modified by quantifiers, as a bit, a lot, some (see quot. 1993 at sense A. 2a), could be understood in other than this sense. In cases where there is a clear implication of scale, however, the sense ‘greater in degree’, is still current (see quot. 1883). Formations where degree is more clearly understood now occur only with greater, usually with the modified noun followed by of and a noun phrase, as ‘the greater seriousness of the situation’.
