别说

bié shuō wǒ nǐ yě bù zhī dào

别说我，你也不知道。

Even you don't know, so how could I?

zhè zhǒng dòng wù wǒ lián tīng yě méi tīng shuō guò bié shuō jiàn guò le

这种动物我连听也没听说过，别说见过了。

I haven't even heard of such an animal, let alone seen it.

bié shuō qù shěng huì wǒ lián xiàn chéng hái méi yǒu qù guò ne

别说去省会，我连县城还没有去过呢。

I've never been to the county town, not to say nothing of the provincial capital.

bié shuō yī wàn yuán jiù shì yī qiān yuán wǒ yě chū bù qǐ

别说一万元，就是一千元我也出不起。

I can't afford to pay 1,000 yuan, let alone 10,000 yuan.

xiǎo hái zi zǒu dōu bù huì zǒu gèng bié shuō pǎo le

小孩子走都不会走，更别说跑了。

The baby can't even walk, let alone run.
