高二英语语法惯用法:not to say还是not to mention  请看下面一道题:   They own two cars, not to _________ a motorbike.
  A.
speak B.
say C.
talk D.
mention   【分析】此题很容易根据我们拥有两辆小汽车,更不用说一辆摩托车了这一中文语境而选择B,其实较佳答案为D。
因为not to say 和 not to mention 均为习语,其含义区别甚大:not to mention=更不用说,此外还有;not to say=虽不能说,即使不能说。
如:   He can speak French and Japanese, not to mention English.
他会法语和日语,更不用说英语了。
  David is handsome and smart, not to mention being a good athlete.
戴维漂亮精明,而且还是个遥的运动员。
  It is warm, not to say hot.
天气虽说不上热,但也够暖了。
  He was impolite, not to say rude.
他即使不是粗鲁,至少也是没有礼貌。
