- <p>何况 (hékuàng) can mean "let alone" or "all the more." It can be
- used in the following structure:</p>
- <h2 id="何况-within-a-rhetorical-question">何况 within a rhetorical
- question</h2>
- <h3 id="structure">Structure</h3>
- <div class="jiegou">
- <p>Subj. + 连 + A + 都 + (不 / 没) + Verb， 何况 + B + 呢？</p>
- </div>
- <p>呢 often appears at the end of this structure, to form a
- rhetorical question.</p>
- <p>何况 can be used in two ways, the first of which where 何况 is used
- to emphasize that A is easier than B.</p>
- <h3 id="examples">Examples</h3>
- <div class="liju">
- <ul>
- <li>我 <em>连</em> 一万块钱<em>都</em> 有，<em>何况</em> 一千
- <em>呢</em>？<span class="trans">I have 10000 yuan, and you're saying
- I don't even have 1000?</span></li>
- <li>孩子 <em>连</em> 跑 <em>都</em> 会，<em>何况</em> 走路
- <em>呢</em>？<span class="trans">The child can run, how could he not
- walk?</span></li>
- <li>你 <em>连</em> 那么 难 的 试题 <em>都</em> 会，<em>何况</em> 这么 容易 的
- <em>呢</em>？<span class="trans">You can answer questions that hard,
- something like this should be easy, right?</span></li>
- </ul>
- </div>
- <p>In the above sentences, as A is so easy, then B must be even
- easier. However if one adds a 不 or 没 before the verb then the
- meaning is reversed: now A is so hard, B would almost be
- impossible.</p>
- <div class="liju">
- <ul>
- <li>我 <em>连</em> 一千 块钱 <em>都</em> 没有，<em>何况</em> 一万
- <em>呢</em>？<span class="trans">I don't even have 1000 yuan, let
- alone 10000.</span></li>
- <li>孩子 <em>连</em> 走路 <em>都</em> 不 会，<em>何况</em> 跑
- <em>呢</em>？<span class="trans">The baby can't even walk, let alone
- run.</span></li>
- <li>你 <em>连</em> 这么 简单 的 试题 <em>都</em> 不 会，<em>何况</em> 那么 难 的
- <em>呢</em>？ <span class="trans">You couldn't answer a question that
- easy, and you're kidding yourself you could answer one that
- hard?</span></li>
- </ul>
- </div>
- <p>何况 doesn't necessarily have to be used with the 连⋯⋯都⋯⋯
- structure, and can be used as a simple statement instead of a
- rhetorical question.</p>
- <h2 id="何况-in-a-statement">何况 in a statement</h2>
- <h3 id="structure-1">Structure</h3>
- <div class="jiegou">
- <p>Subj. + (都) + A， 何况 + B！</p>
- </div>
- <h3 id="examples-1">Examples</h3>
- <div class="liju">
- <ul>
- <li>本地人 都 经常 会 迷路 的，<em>何况</em> 外地人！<span class="trans">Natives get
- lost all the time, so imagine the foreigners!</span></li>
- <li>这个 地方 本来 就 不好找，更<em>何况</em> 你 也 是 第一 次 来！<span class=
- "trans">This place has always been hard to find, especially on your
- first time!</span></li>
- </ul>
- </div>
- <p>何况 is often used with 尚且, a formal way of saying 还. 更 can be
- added to 何况 to add further emphasis.</p>
