Bulgarian term or phrase: камо ли пък
Здравейте!

Искам да видя как бихте превели "камо ли пък"

Скучните, нямащи какво да кажат хора, не стават за добри политици, *камо ли пък* за добри управници.

Благодаря!

  -> Thnx! Да, всички предложения са напълно уместни.

agree  Ivan Klyunchev: let alone и much less ги има в речника. Този отговор го няма и го дописах. Имам предвид Българско-английския речник на Наука и изкуство, 1983 г. Webster: never mind conjunction Date: 1954 : much less , let alone — used especially in negative contexts...
