问题 Nowadays it is not uncommon for a big, strong schoolboy to elbow an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on the bus or tube,______stand up and offer his seat to her.
选项 A、much less
B、not to mention
C、not to say
D、rather than
答案A
解析 much less在此处的意思是“更不用说”，用于否定(或带有否定意义的)句后，继前面的否定对相关的某另一件事或情况做更强有力的否定。如此句：“一个高大强壮的学生用胳膊肘将年迈的妇女推开，冲抢地铁或公共汽车上最后一个空位，这种情况当今并不少见，更不用说站起来让座了。”not to mention虽有同义，但结构上要求接名词或名词短语，not to say与not to mention形式相似而意义全然不同，其意为：“虽不能说”，如：He is very frugal，not to say stingy．虽不能说吝啬，但他也非常节俭。rather than“而不是”，在意义上虽然讲得通，但在结构上此句要求用不定式，与to elbow一致。Still less可与much less交替使用。
