Chinese question: I can understand "再…不过了".
Can someone explain this structure? Thanks

Helen Zhang (Chinese Teacher) says
In Chinese, we often use the structure “再(zài)+adj.+不过了(búguò le).” It similar to “It can be + comparative adj. ”
For examples:
Nǐ néng lái nà zài hǎo búguò le.
你能来那再好不过了。
It can't be any better if you are able to come.
Zhè jiàn chènyī zhēn shì zài piányi búguò le.
这件衬衫真是再便宜不过了。
This shirt can’t be more inexpensive.
