V都不V and V都没V for “Not Even (Look, Think, Try)”
Repeat a verb around 都不 or 都没 (看都不看, 想都没想) to stress that someone did not even do the smallest, most expected action.
Muster
verb + 都(也) + 不/没 + same verb (+ object)
看都不看 = “won’t even look”; 想都没想 = “didn’t even think”. The repeated verb names the smallest step, and saying it didn’t happen makes the point strongly.
他生气了，看都不看我一眼。
When to use V都不V and V都没V for “Not Even (Look, Think, Try)”
In this pattern you say a verb, then 都 (or 也), then 不 or 没, then the same verb again: 看都不看, 想都没想, 动都没动, 问都不问. The verb names the smallest, most natural step, such as looking, thinking, tasting or asking, and the pattern says that even this didn’t happen. That makes the negative much stronger, often with surprise, complaint or admiration. Use 没 for something that did not happen (想都没想 “didn’t even think”), and 不 for refusing or not being willing (看都不看 “won’t even look”). An object goes after the second verb (看都不看我一眼), and a second action often follows with 就: 他想都没想就答应了.
听到这个问题，他想都没想就说出了答案。
