请看下面一道题:
They own two cars, not to _________ a motorbike.
A. speak B. say C. talk D. mention
【分析】此题很容易根据我们拥有两辆小汽车,更不用说一辆摩托车了这一中文语境而选择B,其实最佳答案为D。因为not to say 和 not to mention 均为习语,其含义区别甚大:not to mention=更不用说,此外还有;not to say=虽不能说,即使不能说。如:
He can speak French and Japanese, not to mention English. 他会法语和日语,更不用说英语了。
David is handsome and smart, not to mention being a good athlete. 戴维漂亮精明,而且还是个优秀的运动员。
It is warm, not to say hot. 天气虽说不上热,但也够暖了。
He was impolite, not to say rude. 他即使不是粗鲁,至少也是没有礼貌。
