问题描述

Surprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that education.

老师答疑

刘老师：

说明：词典一般都把still less看做一个固定的副词短语，但我认为，从实际用法来看，它确实是一个连词，在句子中连接了两个并列的成分。此外，还有much less, even less也属此类，意思和用法相同。

We use the expressions “still less”, “much less”, and “even less” after a negative statement in order to introduce and emphasize a further statement, and to make it negative too.
