few、little、a、few、a、little的区别及用法
“few”、“little”、“a few”、“a little”的区别及用法:
一、基本用法
1. few与a few
- few:表示“很少,几乎没有”,具有否定意义,用来修饰可数名词复数。例如,There are few apples left on the tree.(树上几乎没有苹果剩下了。)这给人一种消极的感觉,好像苹果的数量少得令人失望。
- a few:表示“有一些,几个”,是肯定意义,同样修饰可数名词复数。比如,I have a few friends in this city.(我在这个城市有几个朋友。)这里表达出一种积极的情绪,虽然朋友数量可能不是很多,但总归是有朋友的存在。
2. little与a little
- little:表示“很少,几乎没有”,有否定意义,修饰不可数名词。例如,There is little water in the glass.(杯子里几乎没有水了。)这可能会让人感到有些焦急,尤其是当你很渴的时候。
- a little:表示“有一点,少量”,具有肯定意义,修饰不可数名词。像,I need a little time to finish this work.(我需要一点时间来完成这项工作。)这表明虽然时间不多,但还是有一些,给人一种还有希望完成工作的感觉。
二、固定搭配
1. few的相关搭配
- quite a few:表示“相当多,不少”,用来强调数量比想象中的要多一些,而且是可数的。例如,There are quite a few people at the
concert.(音乐会上有相当多的人。)这就像是在说,原本以为人不会很多,但实际看到的人数还是挺可观的。
2. little的相关搭配
- a little bit:表示“有点,有几分”,可以用来修饰形容词或者副词。例如,The dress is a little bit expensive.(这件裙子有点贵。)这就像是在犹豫要不要买这件裙子,觉得价格超出了自己的预期一点。
1 / 6 Little, a little, few, a few的区别:
版本一:
a little/little(形容词)用在不可数名词之前:
a little salt/little salt一点盐/没有多少盐
a few/few(形容词)用在复数名词之前:
a few people/few people有几个人/没有几个人
a few /few +名词复数,
a little /little +不可数名词,
a few /a little 表肯定,(一点/一些),
few / little 表否定(几乎没有)
a little +不可数名词= a bit of + 不可数名词,
a little +形容词=a bit +形容词
这四种形式也都能用做代词使用,或单独使用或与of连用:
例:
-Sugar?
-A little,please.
-要糖吗?
-请给一点儿。
Only a few of these are any good.
这其中只有几个用得着。
B a litile,a few(形容词和代词)
a little指少量或者说话人认为少的量; a few指小数目或者说话人认为小的数目。
把only放在a little/a few之前,是为了强调说话人认为该数量的确很小。
例:
Only a few of our customers have accounts.
我们的顾客中只有少数人是记账的。
但是把quite放在a few之前就大大增大了这个数量:
I have quite a few books on art.
我有不少关于艺术的书。(许多书)
C little和few(形容词和代词):
little和few意为很少或没有,几乎具有否定意义:
例: 2 / 6 There was little time for consultation.
Unit 5 few, a few, little, a little 等的用法
虽然都表示“少”,但
(1)few, a few是可数的, little, a little是不可数的。
(2)a few, a little含肯定意味,few, little含否定意味。这里所谓的“肯定意味”和“否定意味”应该这样来理解:同样是半杯水,口渴者会认为:There is little water in the glass. 而不口渴的人则会认为:There is a
little water in the glass.
1.few修饰可数名词复数。
2.few (= not many; hardly any)含否定意义;a few (= some; several;
a small
number of) 含肯定意义。
3. not a few = no few = quite a few = a good few = many。
4. 当 few受 every, last, past, next, some, very等词所修饰时,表示肯定意义,few之前不再有冠词。如:
In the last few minutes, he checked up his paper again.
It took us some few days to repair the machine.
They are very few in number.
There were too few of them.
He goes to see his grandma every few weeks.
5. 在非正式文体中很少见,一般用或代替,如:
