===VII. 光A就… just A alone...=== | ===VII. 光A就… just A alone...=== | ||
Just/even A alone exceeds common expectations. | |||
This structure emphasizes the excessiveness or some situation using (A) as an example. If (A) is a particularly excessive example, the 光…就 pattern is identical to 連…都. | |||
Example of 光…就 having usage identical to 連…都: | |||
「最近房價那麼貴，聽說光有錢人就買不起房子」 | |||
「最近房價那麼貴，聽說連有錢人都買不起房子」 | |||
“Housing prices are so high lately that even rich people can't afford to buy a house | |||
Example where 光…就 cannot be swapped with 連…都 because the example (A) is not extreme: | |||
「最近好熱，光昨天就超過三十度」 | |||
"It's been so hot recently, just yesterday it was over 30°" | |||
