व्याख्या

Two uses. (1) "Far from ~": the actual result is the opposite of what was expected (it got worse instead of better). (2) A どころか B も: "not only A, but not even B" — B is something easier or more basic, often marked with も or さえ. Both show surprise or dissatisfaction.

उदाहरण

• 薬くすりを飲のんだのに、風邪かぜは 治なおるどころか、ますますひどくなった。

टिप्पणी

In use (1), what follows is the opposite of the expectation. In use (2), when the sentence is negative (B も〜ない), B should be easier or more basic than A. ばかりか simply adds in the same direction and lacks the "opposite" meaning of use (1).
