That is the fun part about Chinese, it is so flexible. Just two words can have so many different meanings. It could also mean "look around more, or see more". As in "I want to see more before I decide". I am sure we could find even more, if we tried hard enough.
This flexibility is something that European language with their rigid structural cages (grammar) are lacking. Since your name indicates you are German (or at least speak German), you will know what I am talking about, lol.
