</TOC>
居然 (jūrán) and 反而 (fǎn‘ér) both indicate that something is unexpected, or beyond common expectations.
## Both 居然 and 反而 are used in similar structures
The following two grammar structures show us that 反而 and 居然 can be used in the same grammar pattern.
Clause 1, 反而 / 居然 + unexpected opposite outcome
### Examples
- 我 打 他,他 _居然_ 没 哭。
- 我 帮 他,他 _反而_ 生气 了。
## 反而 can also be used in some specific grammar patterns
However, 反而 is often used with 不仅没有 (不但没有) or 不仅不 (不但不). You cannot use 居然 here. This pattern basically means "but not only...on the contrary..."
Clause 1, 不仅没有(不但没有)/ 不仅不 (不但不)......反而......
### Examples
- 经过 治疗,他 的 病情 不仅 没有 好转,_反而_ 恶化 了。
- 吃了 这些 减肥药,不但 没有 瘦,_反而_ 更 胖 了。
- 雨 不仅 没 停,_反而_ 越 下 越 大 了。
## 居然 is for unexpected things, 反而 is more of a turning point
反而 is used to express "on the contrary" or "in contrast," and it is usually placed in the second part of the sentence. Note that the meaning of 反而 goes beyond just "but." It is used to explain that something is totally the opposite of what one was expecting.
居然 is not as intense as 反而. What's more, 居然 not only brings up an unexpected thing, it also allows the speaker to give a comment on that unexpected thing.
### Examples
- 作为学生,就应该好好学习,他 _居然_ 学 社会 上 的 小混混 干 坏事,太 不 像话 了。
- 他 这么 小 的 年纪 _居然_ 能 背 唐诗 三 千 首,真是 了不起。
- 他 _居然_ 在 奥运会 上 得了 金牌,真是 太 不可思议 了。
- 他 _居然_ 就 住在 我们 家 隔壁,真是 缘分 呐!
In these examples "太不像话了," "真是了不起," "真是太不可思议了," and "真是缘分呐" are the comments.
