The term "万万" (wàn wàn) is an adverbial expression in Chinese that conveys a strong sense of negation or prohibition. It is often used to emphasize that something must absolutely not be done or is completely unacceptable. The phrase can be translated as "absolutely not" or "by no means" in English.
In the examples provided:
万万不能开着煤气出门。
This translates to "You absolutely must not leave the gas on when going out." Here, "万万" emphasizes the seriousness of the warning against leaving the gas on.
触犯法律的事情是万万干不得的。
This means "Things that violate the law are absolutely not allowed." Again, "万万" underscores the strict prohibition against illegal actions.
Overall, "万万" serves to intensify the negative imperative, making it clear that the action in question is not just discouraged but is completely forbidden.
