Writer's Note

Shall we discuss the subtle difference between "more" vs. "better"? Since the above examples have shown you that contextually "better" is used to express alternative or another. "More" and "better" are both grammatical, but they mean different things. You would need to pay close attention to the context of what is being said to understand what the person is saying.

我們要不要來討論一下「more」和「better」之間的微妙差異呢？前面的例子已經向你展示了，在上下文中，「better」用來表示替代或是另一個選擇。「More」和「better」都是語法正確的，但它們的意思不同。你需要仔細注意所說內容的上下文，才能理解說話者的意思。

Let's compare a few sentences.

讓我們比較一些句子。
  1. I like purple more. 👉 I like purple better.
    2. 我更喜歡紫色。👉 I like purple better.
  2. I enjoy pizza more than pasta. 👉 I enjoy pizza better than pasta.
    3. 我喜歡披薩勝過於義大利麵。👉 I enjoy pizza better than pasta.
  3. She plays soccer more than tennis. 👉 She plays soccer better than tennis.
    4. 她踢足球的次數比打網球多。👉 她踢足球的水平比打網球好。
  4. He drinks whisky more than beer. 👉 He drink whisky better than beer.
    5. 他喝威士忌比喝啤酒多。👉 He drink whisky better than beer.
  5. They communicate more than usual. 👉 They communicate better than usual.
    6. 他們比平時溝通得更多。👉 他們比平時溝通得更好。

Notice the subtle differences but in some sentences you can see that it really depends on context. There really is no wrong answer but there is a more natural or common way of expressing what you say using "better" or "more".

請注意這些細微的差異，但在某些句子中，您會發現這真的取決於上下文。其實並沒有錯誤的答案，但確實有一種更自然或更普遍的方式來表達您所說的內容，使用「better」或「more」。
