a little anxious 有点儿着急

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) 。

她一点都不累 。

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:

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 。

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 。

1. little和few意为很少或没有,几乎具有否定意义:

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 。

有游客到这里来,但很少有人过夜 。
相当于:

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

例句

02
有些不定代词用于指两者 (如 both, either, neither ),有的不定代词用于指三者 (如 all, any, none, every ),具体使用时要根据一定的上下文正确选用 。
例句
Were they all college students?
他们都是大学生吗?
each 可用于两者、三者或三者以上  , 而 every 只用于三者或三者以上,因此用于两者时只能用 each,不能用 every 。
例句

(a)few与(a)little
03
few 和 a few 后接可数名词的复数形式,而 little 和 a little 后接不可数名词 。

例句

all, every, each 的用法
04
从强调重点上看:
all 强调整体地考虑总体 ,every 强调考虑总体中的所有成员 (与all很接近),each 则强调逐个逐个地考虑总体。
从用法上看:
all 和 each 既可单独使用,也可后接名词,还可后接 of 短语 ;而 every 后必须接名词 ,既不能单独使用也不能后接 of 短语 。
从含义上看:
each 指两者或两者以上的“每个”  , every 指三者或三者以上“每个”  , 因此指两者时只能用 each。
