more than这句里什么意思
On the other hand,for the countries that embraced globalisation,the GDP figures rose significantly through this time,and by the 1990s had ( more than ) matched the figures for the wealthy countries of the 1960s.
more than 是在这里是,远远比得上,是这样翻译吗.
但是远远比得上又是什么意思,如果是远远超过我感觉能接受.

答案

more than +动词 意思是不仅仅是完成了这个动作,而且在原有的基础上做的更多
这里意思是“不仅赶上了,而且赶超了”
