Question about Simplified Chinese (China)
清人云：“凡一二 之所不能尽者，则约之以三，以见其多”。
它的整个意思是说 数字三还有虚数，指数量多的意思，可我在做科研，需要更深的解释
是“ 用 一，二不能讲尽的东西，那会用到三”吗？至于“以见其多”怎么解释我就不太明白

“约之以三，以见其多”：用三作虚数来表示数量、次数多。如成语“三省吾身”“三顾茅庐”
“约之以九，以见其极多”：用九作虚数，表示数量、次数极其多
这段话出自清朝时期文学家汪中的《述学·释三九上》，主要内容是对文言文中“三”、“九”的虚数用法进行考证。整段话大致意思是：“古文中，用‘一’‘二’不足以形容某件事物的量时，用‘三’表示多，用‘九’表示极多”。
三，如“三省吾身”，指每日多次反省自身。
九，如“九死未悔”，指就算死去极多次（或无数次，九在此处是为了体现次数多到无法想象），也依然不会后悔
另外，“约之以三”，约指约定、规定、约定俗成。“以见其多”，翻译成英语更容易理解：… to see it’s huge amount 。“用以见到它的多”
三和九是实数（3，9）还是虚数（多，极多），需要代入上下文具体分析。通常，在成语和俗语中，以虚数用法居多

以见其多 = 以此来显示其数量很多 以=以此 见=显示
比如，（子曰：三人行，必有我师焉）中的三不是数字3的意思，而是指很多
