few与little的区别

Answer 1

a few和a little的区别主要是：都表示数量虽然少但毕竟还有，强调“有”，含有肯定意义；但a few后接可数名词的复数形式 \x0d\x0aalittle之后接不可数名词。例如：\x0d\x0a　　1、It is very difficult, but a few people understand it.\x0d\x0a　　他虽难，但是有些人懂。\x0d\x0a　　2、Fortunately, I had a little money on me.\x0d\x0a　　幸好我身上带着一点钱。\x0d\x0a\x0d\x0aa little 和little，a few和few的区别\x0d\x0a(1) few 和 a few 后接可数名词，little 和 a little 后接不可数名词。含义都是少量的意思。\x0d\x0a(2) few 和 little 意为“很少，几乎没有”，表否定;a little 和 a few 意为“有几个”，“有一点”，表肯定。\x0d\x0aEg: hurry up. There is little time left, 快点，没有时间了。\x0d\x0aDon’t worry. There is still a little time left. 别着急，还有一点时间。\x0d\x0aHe has few friends, so he is very lonely. 他几乎没有朋友，所以他感到很孤独。 \x0d\x0a（3）注意：only a little = little Only a few = few\x0d\x0a当 a few 前有另一个形容词或定冠词修饰时，a 要去掉。 Eg: in the past few years . 在过去的几年中。 Every few hundred meters 每隔几百米。\x0d\x0a\x0d\x0afew和little的区别\x0d\x0a1. 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： \x0d\x0a(1) few 后面跟复数可数名词。 e.g. few books few students \x0d\x0a(2) little 后面跟单数不可数名词。 e.g. little water little food \x0d\x0ae.g. He has few friends. 他没有几个朋友。 \x0d\x0aThey has little money. 他们没有什麽钱 \x0d\x0a2. a few 与 a little 都表示肯定的意思，指“有一点，有一些”。具体区别： \x0d\x0a(1) a few 后加可数名词复数 \x0d\x0a（2）a little 后加不可数名词单数。 \x0d\x0ae.g. I'm going to buy a few bananas. \x0d\x0aI can speak only a little Chinese. \x0d\x0a3. a little 与 little 也可以用作副词， 表示“有点”“稍稍” 表示“很少” \x0d\x0ae.g. ----Can you speak English? \x0d\x0a----Yes, but only a little. \x0d\x0aThis book is a little more difficult than that one. \x0d\x0a（ 可修饰形容词比较级） \x0d\x0aShe slept little last night. 昨天晚上，她没有怎么睡觉。

Answer 2

few, a few, little, a little
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.
一：
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：
Only a few people attended the meeting.
另外，little / a little
Little remains to be done about it. (作主语)
A little remains to be done.
Please give me a little. (作宾语)
He knows a little of everything.
There is very / but little time left. (作定语)
Don’t worry; you still have a little time.
1． little修饰不可数名词，表示“量”。
2． little含否定意义(反义词：much)；a little含肯定意义(反义词：none)。
3． 在非正式英语中，一般很少用little，常用not much, only a little来代替，如：
We haven’t got much money / time.
