說明
前面那件事不但沒做到,連更基本的也沒有,或結果反而更差:쉬기는커녕 밥 먹을 시간도 없어요(別說休息了,連吃飯的時間都沒有)、칭찬은커녕 야단만 맞았어요(別說稱讚了,只挨了罵)。
Not only did the first thing not happen, even something more basic didn't, or it went the other way: 쉬기는커녕 밥 먹을 시간도 없어요 (far from resting, I don't even have time to eat), 칭찬은커녕 야단만 맞았어요 (instead of praise, I just got told off).
注意事項
- 後句多是否定,或比預期更差的情況。The second clause is usually negative or worse than expected.
- 名詞:돈은커녕 시간도 없어요。With a noun: 돈은커녕 시간도 없어요.
常見錯誤
- ✗ 쉬기커녕 일만 했어요.
✓ 쉬기는커녕 일만 했어요.
是「-기는커녕」,「는」不能省。It is -기는커녕; 는 can't be dropped. - ✗ 돈는커녕 시간도 없어요.
✓ 돈은커녕 시간도 없어요.
有收音的名詞接「은커녕」。A noun ending in a consonant takes 은커녕.
