a little 和a bit 区别
a little 和a bit 区别:
1. 当它们用作定语,表达“数量”时,a bit后要加of,a little 则不用。例如:
She ate a bit of bread for lunch.
She ate a little bread for lunch.
她午饭就吃了一点点面包。
2. 但是,一旦否定,not a bit 和 not a little的意思就大不一样了,甚至相反。
not a bit 意思是“一点也不”,相当于not at all,not in the least之意。例如:
He is not a bit like his father.
他一点也不像他父亲。
Are you hungry? --- No, not a bit.
你饿了吗? 不,一点也不饿。
She is not a bit happy.
她很不开心。
not a little意思是“非常,很”,相当于 very (much), a lot 之意。例如:
He is not a little like his father.
他很像他的父亲。
I am not a little surprised at the news.
我对这个消息深感惊讶。
【注意】有时bit之前,还可以加little,进一步修饰程度之低,如:
I'm a little bit tired. Let's take a short rest.
我稍有点累了。让我们休息一会儿。
