擴展資料。
few,a few與little,a little的用法異同:
1.few 和 a few 之後接可數名詞的複數形式。few 表示數量很少或幾乎沒有,強調「少」,含有否定意義;a few 表示數量雖然少但畢竟還有,強調「有」,含有肯定意義。比較:
his theory is very difficult,and few people understand it.他的理論很深奧,沒有幾個人能懂。
his theory is very difficult,but a few people understand it.他的理論很深奧,但是有些人懂。
2.little 和 a little 之後接不可數名詞,其區別跟 few 和 a few 之間的`區別相似。如:
unfortunately,i had little money on me.很不巧,我身上沒帶什麼錢?
fortunately,i had a little money on me.幸好我身上帶著一點錢。
3.一般說來,在 only,still,can,quite,not 等詞之後通常用帶有不定冠詞的 a few 或 a little,而在 very,some,the,no,so,too 等詞之後通常用不帶冠詞的 few 或 little。如:
he was not a little surprised.他大為吃驚。
there’s only a little left.只剩下一點點。
i have so little time to enjoy myself.我娛樂時間很少。
very few people understand what he said.幾乎沒什麼人懂他的話?
4.兩者的比較等級變化分別為 few,fewer,fewest (後接可數名詞複數),little,less,least (後接不可數名詞)。如:
who has the fewest mistakes?誰的錯誤最少。
he is the best teacher even though he has the least experience.他儘管經驗最少,但教得最好。
you ought to smoke fewer cigarettes and drink less beer.你應該少抽煙,少喝啤酒。
註:在現代英語的非正式文體中,有時人們也將 less,least 用於複數名詞前,不過這種用法有不少人反對,初學者不宜仿用。如(www.yywords.com):
there are fewer [less] cars on the road at night.晚上路上的汽車要少些。
5.few 和 little 前除受不定冠詞修飾表示肯定意義外,若受其他限定詞的修飾也表肯定意義。如:
she was among the few who have read the book.她是少數讀過這本書的人之一。
her few possessions were sold after her death.她那點兒財產死後就被賣掉了。
the little of his work that i have seen seems excellent.我所看到的他那一小部分工作似乎非常出色。
註:a man [person] of few words (沉默寡言的人)是習詞,其中的 few 前不用冠詞或其他限定詞。
