漢字の読み方 versus 漢字を読むの


> 漢字 **の読み方** はおろか

Can I also say

> 漢字 **を読むの** はおろか

Do they have the same meaning?




Basically, 疎{おろ}か is an adjective (形容動詞) so it has to "decorate" a noun. In
Japanese a nominalized sentence just behave like a noun so both of your
sentences are grammatical and make sense. But their meaning is slighly
different.

> 漢字{かんじ}の読{よ}み方{かた}はおろか,...
>
> Not to mention the way _kanji_ are read, ...

Whereas,

> 漢字{かんじ}を読{よ}むのはおろか,...
>
> Not to mention (the fact of) reading _kanji_ , ...

The provided translations are not deemed to be perfect since the omitted part
,the part after おろか, is even more important that what comes before in order to
translate properly.
