〜をよそに
Ignoring; with no regard for ~
Formación
- N + をよそに
N をよそに means someone acts, or something proceeds, without paying any attention to N. N is usually a noun for people's feelings or the surrounding situation, such as 心配 (worry), 反対 (opposition), 期待 (expectation) or 不安 (anxiety). It often carries a slightly critical or exasperated tone, but it can also mean simply 'unaffected by' a situation, as in sales growing despite a bad economy. It is mainly written style.
Ejemplos
親の心配をよそに、弟は毎晩遅くまでゲームをしている。
Paying no heed to our parents' worry, my younger brother plays games until late every night.
周囲の反対をよそに、彼女は会社を辞めて留学した。

〜ならいざしらず
It might be excusable if ~, but (not in this case)
Formación
- N + ならいざしらず
- V普通形 + のならいざしらず
- N + はいざしらず
A ならいざしらず B means 'it might be understandable in the case of A, but B is different.' A is a special or extreme case (a child, a beginner, the old days), and B expresses the speaker's surprise, criticism or firm judgment, such as 'that is strange' or 'that can't be.' いざしらず comes from an old expression meaning 'I don't know about that, but...'.
Ejemplos
子どもならいざしらず、大人がこんな簡単なルールを守れないのは困る。
It would be one thing if it were a child, but it's a problem when an adult can't follow such a simple rule.
初心者ならいざしらず、十年も働いている人がこのミスをするとは思わなかった。
I could understand it from a beginner, but I never thought someone with ten years of experience would make this mistake.

兄のパン屋 My brother's bakery
妹お兄ちゃん、会社を辞めてパン屋を開くって本当？お母さんたち、すごく心配してるよ。Is it true you're quitting your job to open a bakery? Mom and Dad are really worried about you.
兄うん、本当だよ。もう店の場所も決めてきた。Yes, it's true. I've already decided on a location for the shop.
妹家族の懸念をよそに、どんどん一人で決めちゃって。それって独断じゃない？You're deciding everything by yourself, ignoring the family's concerns. Isn't that acting on your own?
兄相談したら反対されると思って……。でも大丈夫、なんとかなるよ。I thought you'd all object if I asked... But it's fine. It'll work out somehow.
妹その楽観的なところが心配なの。何年もパン屋で働いた人ならいざしらず、素人がいきなり店を開くなんて無謀だよ。That optimism is exactly what worries me. Someone who had worked at a bakery for years might be different, but an amateur suddenly opening a shop is reckless.
兄実は、素人じゃないんだ。この二年、毎週土日に駅前のパン屋で修業させてもらってたんだよ。Actually, I'm not an amateur. For the past two years, I've been training every weekend at the bakery in front of the station.
妹えっ、週末いつも家にいなかったのは、そういうことだったの？What? So that's why you were never home on weekends?
兄うん。周囲に話すと止められそうで、黙ってたんだ。Yeah. I thought people around me would try to stop me if I told them, so I kept quiet.
妹……そこまで本気なら、もう止めないよ。でも、お母さんたちの反対を押し切るんじゃなくて、ちゃんと説明してね。...If you're that serious, I won't stop you. But don't just push past Mom and Dad's objections. Explain it to them properly.
兄わかった。じゃあ、まずはこれを食べてみて。店で出す予定のメロンパン。Okay. Then first, try this. It's the melon bread I'm planning to sell at the shop.
妹……おいしい！心配して損しちゃった。...It's delicious! I worried for nothing.
