📖 題組：
Being hit by lightning is a rare event. Over the course of an 80-year life span, the odds of being hit by lightning are 1 in 3,000, __21__ the probability of being struck seven different times. Roy Sullivan, a park ranger in the United States, was struck by lightning more recorded times than any other human being. Over his 36-year career, Sullivan was struck by lightning seven times—and __22__ each shock!
Strikes one, two, and three were pure bad luck, he thought. But after strike four, Sullivan became __23__ death and took precautions during lightning strikes. Strike five occurred in 1973 when Sullivan was on patrol. A storm cloud “chased” him until he was struck. The same thing happened again in 1976. Sullivan, while surveying a campground, felt that a cloud was __24__ him, and tried all he could to run—but it got him anyway. Finally, on 25 June 1977, a seventh and final bolt struck Sullivan as he was fishing in a pond. “I don’t believe God is after me,” he theorized. “If he was, the first bolt __25__ enough. Best I can figure is that I have some chemical, some mineral, in my body that draws lightning. I just wish I knew.”

請觀察空格前後的語意邏輯：前半句提到一生中被雷擊的機率是 $1/3000$（已屬罕見），後半句則提到「被擊中七次」的情況（更為極端且不可思議）。這兩者在「稀有程度」上呈現何種遞進關係？哪個慣用語能有效銜接並強調後者這個更令人震驚的事實，以達到加強語氣的效果？

更不用說的強調語法
💡 使用 not to mention 引出程度更深、更令人驚訝的情況。
| 比較維度 | not to mention | VS | let alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 常用語氣 | 多用於肯定句 | — | 多用於否定句 |
| 強調重點 | 追加一個更驚人的事實 | — | 強調連更基本的要求都達不到 |
| 常見範例 | 他很聰明，更不用說他很努力 | — | 他連走都不行，更不用說跑了 |
💬雖然兩者皆譯為「更不用說」，但 not to mention 多用於肯定的程度堆疊。
