Welcome Caroline. Could you expand your answer a little bit, maybe analyzing the sentence?

<p>&quot;还要&quot; means &quot;more&quot; here, so &quot;还要清楚&quot; means &quot;clearer.&quot;</p>
<p>Other expressions of &quot;clearer&quot; include:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>更清楚</p>
<p>更加清楚</p>
<p>清楚得多</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Assuming &quot;释然&quot; is a person's name (Shiran), the entire sentence means</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Shiran, I'm afraid I'm clearer about what you're thinking now than you are.</p>

<p>大家好！</p>

<p>What does 还要 mean in this sentence?  "释然啊，你现在心里在想什么，我恐怕比你还要清楚。" It was in a Chinese novel that I was reading called 释然的修行.
Thanks!</p>

"还要" means "more" here, so "还要清楚" means "clearer."

Other expressions of "clearer" include:

> 更清楚
>
> 更加清楚
>
> 清楚得多

Assuming "释然" is a person's name (Shiran), the entire sentence means

> Shiran, I'm afraid I'm clearer about what you're thinking now than you are.
