有一读者问： 有这样一句话：
(1)Hygeia herself would have fallen sick under such a regimen; and how much more this poor old nervous victim?
如何理解、分析how much more...?
这是一种比较常见的疑问感叹句的省略结构，其意为“更何况……!”或“……就更不用说了!”。它是much more...的强调式。再如：
(2)If a nurse earns so many dollars a week, how much more a first-rate doctor like him?
(3)She loves her mother-in-law, how much more she does her own mother？
