英語中a few 和a little的用法

英語 S.H.E 教育 英語老師劉凱 英語老師劉凱 2017-08-17

英語中a few和a little都有“一些”的含義,怎樣區分呢?

1、a few 和可數名詞連用。

如:a few penciles, a few books,a few places

2、a little 和不可數名詞連用。

如:a little milk,a little fresh air,a little beef

3、many 和much的比較和a few ,a little相近

many 用於可數名詞,much用於不可數名詞。

如:many students,many tables,much water,much sugar

4、但a lot of 則可用於可數或不可數名詞。

如:a lot of boats(可數),a lot of rice(不可數)

a few和a little雖然有“一些”的含義,但表達的數量是比較小的,近似於a small number或a small quantity。

5、few 和 little 是具有否定含義的詞,相當於 not...many和 not... much。我們比較一下:

She has a few good friends.(雖然不多,但也有一些好朋友)

She has few good friends.=She doesn't have many good friends.(幾乎沒有什麼好朋友,近似於無)

We have a little water.(雖然不多,但還是有一點水)

We have little water.=We don't have much water.(幾乎沒什麼水了,相當於沒有)

6、a few=a small number

many=a large number

a little=a small quantity

much=a large quantity

比如:They have a small quantity of money.(money不可數)

She has a small number of apples.(apple可數)

We don't have a large number of cars.(car可數)

They have a large quantity of salt in store.(rice不可數)

大家使用這幾個詞的時候,一定要注意名詞是可數的還是不可數的。
