Explication

连……都…… emphasizes an extreme or surprising case: “even...”. The item after 连 is often the least expected one. Pay attention to the fixed position of each marker and to the relationship between the object, action, and result. Use this pattern only when it adds a clear meaning such as emphasis, disposal, passive result, causation, value, or completion/contact. Avoid word-for-word translation from Vietnamese or English.
