few的代词用法篇一

few和a few之间区别很大,事实上,它们的意思几乎完全相反。

if you say, for example, “i have a few friends in the ministry”, it sounds impressive.

比如你说“我在上头有些朋友”,那别人会对你刮目相看的。

“few” = not many;“a few” = several. “few” and “a few” are used with countable nouns.

few就是不多的意思,a few就是有一些的意思。few和a few都是用来形容可数名词的。

ex: the regulator has presented this standpoint on few occasions.

例1:该官员在很少的一些场合发表过这一观点。

ex: the regulator has presented this standpoint on a few occasions.

例2:该官员在不少场合发表过这一观点。

“little” and “a little” work in the same way as “few” and “a few”。

little和a little的用法和few和a few类似。

“little” = not much; “a little” = some. “little” and “a little” are used with uncountable nouns.

little的意思是不多,a little的意思是有一些。little和a little都是用来形容不可数名词的。

ex: i have a little money” (a modest way of saying you’re reasonably wealthy)。

例3:我有些钱(这是对我是有钱人的委婉说法)。

ex: we hope to be able to complete the project in as little time as possible. (i.e. not much time – “as little … as possible” is a common phrase)

例4:我们希望能花最少的时间来完成这个项目(花越少…越好,“as little … as possible”这在英语中是个习惯用法)。

区别:

二、a little

1、 与动词连用:动词 + a little

it rained a little during the night.

夜里下了一点儿雨。

they grumbled a little about having to wait.

他们为要等候抱怨了几句。

2、 与具有“令人不快的”意义的形容词和副词连用:

可以用 rather(adv. 宁可,宁愿;相当)来代替a little。rather也可以用于比较级之前,但a little更常用一些。

a little anxious 有点儿着急

a little annoyed 有点儿不耐烦

a little unwillingly 有点儿不情愿地

a little impatiently 有点儿不耐心地

3、 与形容词和副词的比较级连用:动词 + a little + 比较级

the paper should be a little thicker.

这纸应该再厚一点儿。

can’t you walk a little faster?

你不能走得快一点儿吗?

a bit of = bits of 修饰名词,既可接可数也可接不可数。

this comes as a bit of a disappointment.

这有点儿让人失望。

shes done quite a bit of work this past year.

过去的一年里她做了不少工作。

a https:/// bit修饰形容词、动词、副词,后接形容词,表示“有点”a little bit = a bit,只不过a little bit比a bit的还少一点。

youve been a bit soft with him.

你对他软了些。

hes half asleep and a bit boozed.

他有点儿喝醉了,半睡半醒的。

a bit和a little在肯定句中修饰动词、形容词、副词和比较级时可以互换,表示"一点儿"的意思。

the speaker spoke up a bit/a little so as to make himself heard more clearly.

演讲者把嗓门提高了一点儿,以便使别人听得更清楚。

a bit和a little在否定句中的意思恰恰相反, not a bit相当于"not at all"(一点儿都不);not a little相当于"very(much)"或"extremely"(很、非常)。

she is not a bit tired. = she is not tired at all.

她一点都不累。

she is not a little tired. = she is very tired.

她很累。

a little可以直接作定语修饰名词,而a bit则要在后面加of构成短语才能作定语,两者都只能修饰不可数名词。

there is a little/a bit of  food left for lunch.

午饭只能吃剩下的一点食品了。

a nice bit of相当多的

he has got a nice bit of money for his book.

他那本书得到了相当可观的一笔钱。

4、 little意为很少或几乎不,具有否定意义。在比较正式的文体中,little主要同better或more连用:

his second suggestion was little ( = not much) better than his first.

他的第二个建议比第一个好不了多少。

5、 在正式的英语中,little可用在某些动词如 expect,know,suspect,think等之前:

he little expected to find himself in prison.

他几乎没有料到自己会进监狱。

he little thought that one day…

他几乎从不曾想过有一天……

三、a litile,a few(形容词和代词)用法

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。

1、 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。

only a few of our customers have accounts.

我们的顾客中只有少数人是记账的。

2、 但是把quite(adv. 很;相当;完全)放在a few之前就大大增大了这个数量:quite a few 不少。

i have quite a few books on art.

我有不少关于艺术的书。(许多书)

四、little和few(形容词和代词)用法:

1、 little和few意为很少或没有,几乎具有否定意义:

there was little time for consultation.

几乎没有时间商量。

few towns have such splendid trees.

有这么好看的树木的城市不多。

2、 little和few的这种用法主要限于书面英语(可能由于在日常会话中little和few容易被误认为是 a little/a few)。因此,在日常会话中little和few通常由hardly any(几乎没有)替代,也可以由动词否定式+much/many替代:

we saw little.

我们没有看到什么。

相当于:

we saw hardly anything./we didn’t see much.

我们几乎什么都没有看到。

tourists come here but few stay overnight.

有游客到这里来,但很少有人过夜。

相当于:

tourists come here but hardly any stay overnight.

有游客到这里来,但几乎没有人在这里过夜。

3、 但如果little和few由so,very,too,extremely (adv. 非常,极其;极端地),comparatively (adv. 比较地;相当地),relatively (adv. 相当地;相对地,比较地)等词修饰,就可以较自由地使用。

fewer 较少的

i’m unwilling to try a drug i know so little about.

我不乐意服我知之甚少的药。

they have too many technicians, we have too few.

他们的技术员太多,而我们的又太少。

there are fewer butterflies every year.

蝴蝶的数量每年都在减少。

few的代词用法篇四

(免责声明:文中图片来源于网络,如有侵权请联系删除)

few, a few

few的意思是"很少的。.。,几乎没有的。.。", 表示" 虽然有,但很少", 强调"少",表示否定的意思;

a few的意思是"少数的。.。几个。.。,一些。.。"表示虽然少,但"还有",强调"有",表示肯定之意,两者之间的差别主要是主观上的,而不是实际数字上的差别。

例如:

房间里有几个人。(虽少但有)

few, little

这两个词都有"很少"没多少"的意思,都表示否定含意。

little, few, several

这几个词用作形容词时均含"少量的"之意。

little只修饰不可数名词,含否定意义。

few只修饰可数名词的复数形式,侧重指数量非常少,给人一种模糊概念,含否定意义。
