Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Shortness"
The meaning of "Shortness" in various phrases and sentences
Q:
O que significa We all complain of the shortness of time, and yet we have more than we know what to do with. ?
A:
If you take it as a whole and reinstate the omissions it becomes:
“We know what to do with it”
The ‘it’ refers here to ‘time’.
So the sentence so far means that we know what to do with time.
But since it is preceded by a superlative construction “more + than” it becomes that the quantity of time we already have exceeds our ability to know what to do with it.
We already have so much, it is in excess, and we cannot utilize all of it as is.
I hope this helps.
