Expressing 'let alone' with 何况

The 连…都…, 何况…呢? structure is a rhetorical pattern that means 'if even A is true, then obviously B is even more so.' Place the more extreme or basic situation after 何况, often followed by 呢 to make the sentence a rhetorical question. For added emphasis, 更 or 又 can precede 何况.

구조

… 连 + ... + 都 + Verb/Adj. ，(更/又) + 何况 + ... + 呢 ？
