let alone 點解同點用??

let alone 係 Idioms：有兩個意思﹗

1) not to mention: (...更何妨...)
例子:
* She cannot even boil an egg, let alone cook a meal for you!
*(佢連滾隻蛋都唔識，唔好講話煮番餐飯過你吃啦﹗)

2) leave alone: (莫打擾)
例子:
* Stop teasing the dog; let him alone.
*(咪玩死隻狗啦；放過佢啦﹗)

re: 「let alone 後面有冇話一定係 verb 定 noun？﹗」

其實，let alone 係 Idioms (方言)，冇grammar可言~
所以，let alone 後面加 verb 定 noun 好睇你全句想講乜~

PS：如果你用嚟作文啲話就死硬啦~ Idioms 係人哋係講嘢啲時候用嚟加強語氣的~

再多一個例子：
We had not got the money to phone home, let alone (stay in a hotel).
(我哋連打電話返屋企啲錢都冇啦，重好講話住酒店)
** 呢個時候用 verb 係 let alone 之後 (stay)，係因為有一個 action 係第2part~

用番 hk_jenny_cheung 啲例子：
There is not room for all of us, let alone (six dogs and a cat).
** let alone 後面加上 noun 係因為接回上半部~

let alone 不必提… / 更不用說…

There isn't room for all of us, let alone six dogs and a cat.這兒連我們的地方都不夠，更不用說6只狗和1只貓
