问
× She scarcely bothered to look at us, much more speak to us. (她连看都几乎懒得看我们，更不用说同我们谈话了。)这个句子有毛病吗？
答
much more 只能用在肯定句之后：
-
He is kind to me, much more to my elder brother. 他对我很好,更不用说对我哥哥了(对我哥哥更是如此)。
-
It's difficult to understand him, much more his wife. 他的话很难懂，他妻子的话就更难懂了。
而 She scarcely bothered to look at us. 是一个否定句(见 hardly, seldom, scarcely)，故不能用 much more，而必须换用 much less。后者可以用在否定句之后：
-
I never think of it, much less say it. 我连想都没想到这件事，更不用说讲它了。
-
I never even spoke to the man, much less insulted him. (DAI) 我同这个人从未讲过话，更不用说侮辱他了。
