有很多朋友搞不清楚Few 和Little的用法,今天就来讲一讲。
1. few 与 little 作形容词用,都表示“几乎没有”,相当于一个否定词。
具体区别:
(1) few 后面跟复数可数名词。 e.g. few books few students
(2) little 后面跟单数不可数名词。 e.g. little water little food
e.g. He has few friends. 他没有几个朋友。
They has little money. 他们没有什麽钱
2. a few 与 a little 都表示肯定的意思,指“有一点,有一些”。具体区别:
(1) a few 后加可数名词复数
(2)a little 后加不可数名词单数。
e.g. I'm going to buy a few bananas.
I can speak only a little Chinese.
3. a little 与 little 也可以用作副词, 表示“有点”“稍稍” 表示“很少”
e.g. ----Can you speak English?
----Yes, but only a little.
This book is a little more difficult than that one.
( 可修饰形容词比较级)
She slept little last night. 昨天晚上,她没有怎么睡觉。
