如果说什么东西是 more to something than meets the eye, 意思就是事情并不象处看到的那样简单。

例句

I don't like Peter's new girlfriend – she seems sweet but I think there's more to her than meets the eye.

There's more to the manager's report than meets the eye – I think there could be redundancies.

I love Superman. You think he's just a normal guy, but there's much more to him than meets the eye!

请注意

注意英语里还有一个同眼睛这个词连用的短语 easy on the eye, 这个短语的意思是很好看。

I love David Beckham – he's very easy on the eye.
