【问】 It would cost all the money he had and then some.请问这里的some是什么意思?

【答】 and then some是一个固定习语，意思是：and a lot more; and more too(再加许多;而且还不止于此)。上面的句子可译为：买那件东西把他所有的钱都花掉也不够，还需要更多的钱才行。类例：

1. That would require all his strength and then more.

他需要竭尽全力，而且还远不止于此。

2. Talking his way out of this trouble was going to take all his wits and then some.

要解释清楚摆脱这件麻烦事的途径，用尽他的全部才智，也是不够的。

3. He paid a thousand dollars and then some.(《韦氏辞典》，电子版)

他付了一千美元，然后又付了一些。
