Colloquial Saying
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In spoken Chinese, the rhetorical question, "这还用说(吗)?", indicates
the speaker believes that the statement is obvious. It is equivalent to
the speaker saying, "is that seriously a question?" or "do you really
need to ask?" Often, "这还用说(吗)?" is said in an impatient tone of
voice.
