■ most of all是“尤其是”的意思。 - Recent decades, and the 1990s most of all, drove these points home with terrible clarity. (The Economist)最近几十年，尤其是 20 世纪 90 年代，已经把这几点表现得触目惊心。
如果“尤其是”是表示更进一步的否定（或是疑问反诘），则不能用 most of all 而要用 least of all。 - The American Empire simply could not tolerate an anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist government, least of all in the Western hemisphere, the US's "backyard." (International Socialist Review, July/Aug., 2004, p.59)美利坚帝国简直不可能容忍一个反帝和反资本主义的政府，尤其是在美国的“后院”西半球。
- Under what circumstances does the CEO owe the employee anything, least of all an explanation for his actions?身为总经理，哪能欠区区一个雇员什么东西，更何况是要就自己的行动对他说明理由？
但是，有时候，表面上是否定，其实是从反面表示肯定，也可以用 most of all。 - Flushed with money and power, they didn't and would never have enough. There was never enough of either for men like this, but power most of all.(Tom Clancy, Clear and Present Danger, p.434)他们腰缠万贯，大权在握，不知餍足，也永不餍足。对于这样的人，多少钱也不够，多大权也不够，但尤其是权。
