课程摘要
岂止是…… means "far more than just". Use A 岂止是 B to emphasize that A is more than just B.
岂止是…… means "far more than just" and follows the frame A 岂止是 B. Use it when the sentence needs to emphasize that A is more than just B. Pay attention to register: many patterns in this group are formal, evaluative, or rhetorical, so they are stronger than everyday words. Do not choose a pattern only because the translation looks close; check whether the sentence is evaluation, sufficiency, inevitability, suggestion, or rhetorical affirmation/denial. Common mistakes include dropping fixed characters such as 于, 是, 不, 能, 非, confusing 不只是, 何止, 不仅是, or using a rhetorical pattern in a neutral statement.
