little和few的区别

few, little虽然都表示“少”,但(1)few 是可数的, little是不可数的 。(2)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.【little和few的区别】

little和few的区别


一、具体释义:1.few修饰可数名词复数 。2.few (= not many; hardly any)含否定意义;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.
