1週3日目 見た目はともかく
Condition・emotion・limit
接続：N／普通形＋どころか
not only not A but on the contrary B
注意 / Note：TWO opposite meanings, don't confuse them. One is strong negation: not only not A but even worse (休むどころか残業した). The second is to exceed expectations in a good way: not only A but also B (日本語どころか中国語も). Look at the next part and decide.
比較 / Compare：Same article: 〜ともかく／〜はともかくとして／〜は別として. These models are often mistakenly chosen for each other — carefully read the 接続 and nuances above and then decide.
よく出る形 / Common form：名詞・普通形＋どころか、〜。The latter part is often accompanied by も・まで・さえ for emphasis.
休むどころか、残業までした。
Not only do they not take breaks, but they also work overtime.
彼は日本語どころか、中国語も話せる。
Not only Japanese, they also speak Chinese.
楽になるどころか、仕事はますます増えている。
Not only does it not get lighter, the work is also increasing day by day.
