little,alittle,few,afew區(qū)別

1、Little, a little, few, a few 的區(qū)別：版本一：a little /little （形容詞）用在不可數(shù)名詞之前：a little salt /little salt 一點(diǎn)鹽/沒有多少鹽a few /few （形容詞）用在復(fù)數(shù)名詞之前：a few people /few people 有幾個(gè)人/沒有幾個(gè)人a few /few + 名詞復(fù)數(shù)，a little /little +不可數(shù)名詞，a few /a little 表肯定，（一點(diǎn) /一些），few / little 表否定（幾乎沒有）a little +不可數(shù)名詞=a bit of + 不可數(shù)名詞，a little

2、+ 形容詞=a bit + 形容詞這四種形式也都能用做代詞使用，或單獨(dú)使用或與of連用:例：-Sugar ?- A little , please .- 要糖嗎？- 請給一點(diǎn)兒。Only a few of these are any good這其中只有幾個(gè)用得著。B a litile , a few （形容詞和代詞）a little指少量或者說話人認(rèn)為少的量；a few指小數(shù)目或者說話人認(rèn)為小的數(shù)目。把 only 放在 a little /a few 之前，是為了強(qiáng)調(diào)說話人認(rèn)為該數(shù)量的確很小。例：Only a few of our customers have accounts .我們的顧客中

3、只有少數(shù)人是記賬的。但是把quite放在a few之前就大大增大了這個(gè)數(shù)量：I have quite a few books on art .我有不少關(guān)于藝術(shù)的書。（許多書）C little和few （形容詞和代詞）：little和few意為很少或沒有，幾乎具有否定意義：例：There was little time for consultation幾乎沒有時(shí)間商量。Little is known about the side effects of this drug .這種藥物有些什么副作用，現(xiàn)在還不大清楚。Few towns have such splendid trees .有這么好看的

4、樹木的城市不多。little和few的這種用法主要限于書面英語（可能由于在日常會話中 little和few容易被誤認(rèn)為是 a little /a few）。 因此，在日常會話中 little 和few 通常由 hardly any 替代，也可以由 動詞否定式 +much / many 替代：例：We saw little .我們沒有看到什么。相當(dāng)于：We saw hadly anything . / We didn ' t see much.我們幾乎什么都沒有看到。Tourists come here but few stay overnight .有游客到這里來，但很少有人過夜。相當(dāng)

5、于：Tourists come here but hadly any stay overnight .有游客到這里來，但幾乎沒有人在這里過夜。但如果 little 和 few 由 so, very, too, extremely , comparatively , relatively 等詞修飾，就 可以較自由地使用。fewer （比較級）也可以更自由地使用。例：I ' m unwilling to try a drug I know so little about .我不樂意服我知之甚少的藥。They have too many technicians , we have too f

6、ew .他們的技術(shù)員太多，而我們的又太少。There are fewer butterflies every year .蝴蝶的數(shù)量每年都在減少。D a little /little （副詞）1 a little 可以：（a）與動詞連用：例：It rained a little during the night .夜里下了一點(diǎn)兒雨。They grumbled a little about having to wait .他們?yōu)橐群虮г沽藥拙洹?b)與具有 令人不快的”意義的形容詞和副詞連用：例：a little anxious 有點(diǎn)兒著急a little annoyed 有點(diǎn)兒不耐煩a li

7、ttle unwillingly 有點(diǎn)兒不情愿地a little impatiently 有點(diǎn)兒不耐心地(c)與形容詞和副詞的比較級連用：The paper should be a little thicker .這紙應(yīng)該再厚一點(diǎn)兒。Can' t you walk a little faster ?你不能走得快一點(diǎn)兒嗎？在(b) 中可以用 rather 來代替 a little。 rather 也可以用于比較級之前，但 a little 更常用 一些。在英語口語中a bit可以在上述例子中用以替代a little。2在比較正式的文體中，little主要同better或more連用：例：

8、His second suggestion was little (=not much ) better than his first .他的第二個(gè)建議比第一個(gè)好不了多少。He was little (= not much ) more than a child when his father died .他父親去世時(shí)，他差不多還是個(gè)孩子。在正式的英語中，little 可用在某些動詞如expect, know, sus pect, think 等之前：例：He little expected to find himself in prison .他幾乎沒有料到自己會進(jìn)監(jiān)獄。He little

9、thought that one day他幾乎從不曾想過有一天注意！ 像 littleknown 和little used 這樣的形容詞的用法：a little known painter 一個(gè)藉藉無名畫家a little-used footpath一條幾乎沒有人走的小道版本二：(a) few 與(a) little 的區(qū)別1 .從所修飾的名詞來看：(a) few后接可數(shù)名詞，且要用復(fù)數(shù)形式；(a) little后接不可數(shù)名詞。如：We had little time to do it.我們沒什么時(shí)間做此事。There' s only a little soup left.只剩下一點(diǎn)兒

10、湯了。He has few friends.他朋友很少。1 ' ll only be away a few minutes.我只離開幾分鐘。2 .從所表示的意思來看：上面提到，兩者均可表示數(shù)量，其主要區(qū)別是，(a) few后接可數(shù)名詞，(a) little后接不可數(shù)名詞。但是，(a) little還可表示大小。如：Please accept this little gift .請接受這件小小的禮物。There are several little towns along the river. 沿河有幾個(gè)/J、鎮(zhèn)。注意體會下面兩句，前面的 little表示形狀或個(gè)子小”，后面的littl

It eats only a little food.那是一個(gè)小動物，它只吃一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)食物。3.從各自的詞性來看：在詞性方面，兩者的共同點(diǎn)是，均可用作形容詞或代詞；其丕同點(diǎn)是,(a) little還可用作副詞，用以修飾形容詞、副詞、動詞以及介詞短語。如：He is a little tired.他有點(diǎn)累了。They are a little bit better n

12、ow.現(xiàn)在他們稍好一點(diǎn)了。You should walk a little faster. 你應(yīng)該走快一點(diǎn)。She was only a little over fifty years old . 她才五十多點(diǎn)。二、有a與沒有a的區(qū)別不帶a的little和few含有否定意義，表示數(shù)量很少或幾乎沒有,強(qiáng)調(diào) 少”:帶有a的little和few含有肯定意義，表示數(shù)量雖然少但畢竟還有，強(qiáng)調(diào) 宥”。比較：Few people like such things.沒什么人喜歡那樣的東西。A few people like such things.有少數(shù)人喜歡那樣的東西。He knows little Eng

13、lish.他幾乎不懂英語。He knows a little English.他懂一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)英語。注意，當(dāng)few前不帶a,但帶有the, some these, those等修飾語時(shí)，也表示肯定意義。 如：Some few have already left.有幾個(gè)已經(jīng)離開了。The last few winters have been very cold . 過去幾個(gè)冬天者酩艮冷。The first few chapters are about his early days . 前幾章談他的少年時(shí)期。三、思維拓展注意兩者比較級和最高級的用法及區(qū)別：little 的比較級和最高級分另1J為less
