Question

Little作动词，应该怎么解释呢？

来自一句歌词，Rob Thomas 的“littleyou're little”。

Answer 1

一、先看两道考题

大家对little的代词用法和形容词用法可能比较熟悉，但对于其副词用法则可能比较生疏，所以许多考生对下面这两道高考题中的little都不甚理解：

1. I ___C___ there little more than a week when I set to work with the scientist.

A. would be B. have been C. had been D. will be

2. Little ___D___ that we were watching his every move, so he seemed to be going his own way in this business.

A. he realized B. he didn’t realize C. didn’t he realize D. did he realize

这两道题中的little均用作副词，其中第1题中的little修饰比较级more，第2题中的little修饰动词realize。

为帮助大家正确理解little的副词用法，本文拟对此作一归纳。

Answer 2

like 作动词，表示一般性的“爱好、喜欢”，有泛指的含义。
