⋯⋯，何况⋯⋯
何况 (hékuàng) - Let alone, not to mention
Explanation
The structure '何况' is used to emphasize that if A is true/obvious, then B (usually stronger or harder) is all the more true. The first clause usually states an easily understood fact or situation, and the following clause uses '何况' to add a stronger reason, with a refuting or argument-reinforcing function. For example: 'I won't apologize, let alone since it's not my fault.'
