This frame covers 别说 …… ，就是 / 连 …… 也 / 都 ……. The characters 别说 look like "don't say", but here they mean "forget" or "never mind". 别说 A，就是 / 连 B 也 / 都 … sets a bigger or harder case aside, then says that even a smaller or easier case fails.

This frame covers 连 …… 都 / 也 …… ，更不用说 …… 了. 连 A 都 / 也 …，更不用说 B 了 starts from the smaller case and moves to the greater one. Even A fails, is missing, or is already too much. B lies further on the same scale, so B is even less worth mentioning. English says "even A, let alone B" or "much less B". The order runs from small to big, the opposite of 别说. The handout gives the full form, meaning, boundary and examples.
