few,a few與little,a little的用法異同
1. few 和 a few 之后接可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式。few 表示數(shù)量很少或幾乎沒有,強(qiáng)調(diào)“少”,含有否定意義;a few 表示數(shù)量雖然少但畢竟還有,強(qiáng)調(diào)“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 之后接不可數(shù)名詞,其區(qū)別跟 few 和 a few 之間的區(qū)別相似。如:
Unfortunately, I had little money on me. 很不巧,我身上沒帶什么錢。
Fortunately, I had a little money on me. 幸好我身上帶著一點(diǎn)錢。
3. 一般說來,在 only, still, can, quite, not 等詞之后通常用帶有不定冠詞的 a few 或 a little,而在 very, some, the, no, so, too 等詞之后通常用不帶冠詞的 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(diǎn)點(diǎn)。
I have so little time to enjoy myself. 我娛樂時間很少。
Very few people understand what he said. 幾乎沒什么人懂他的話。
4.兩者的比較等級變化分別為 few, fewer, fewest (后接可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)),little, less, least (后接不可數(shù)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. 他盡管經(jīng)驗(yàn)最少,但教得最好。
You ought to smoke fewer cigarettes and drink less beer. 你應(yīng)該少抽煙,少喝啤酒。
注:在現(xiàn)代英語的非正式文體中,有時人們也將 less, least 用于復(fù)數(shù)名詞前,不過這種用法有不少人反對,初學(xué)者不宜仿用。如:
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(shù)讀過這本書的人之一。
Her few possessions were sold after her death. 她那點(diǎn)兒財(cái)產(chǎn)死后就被賣掉了。
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。
注:a man [person] of few words (沉默寡言的人)是習(xí)詞,其中的 few 前不用冠詞或其他限定詞。
