little和few的區(qū)別

few, little雖然都表示“少”，但

（1）few 是可數(shù)的, little是不可數(shù)的。

（2）few, little含否定意味。這里所謂的“肯定意味”和“否定意味”應(yīng)該這樣來(lái)理解：同樣是半杯水，口渴者會(huì)認(rèn)為：There is little water in the glass. 而不口渴的人則會(huì)認(rèn)為：There is a little water in the glass.

一、具體釋義：

1．few修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)。

2．few (= not many; hardly any)含否定意義；

3． not a few = no few = quite a few = a good few = many。

4． 當(dāng) few受 every, last, past, next, some, very等詞所修飾時(shí)，表示肯定意義，few之前不再有冠詞。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.
