英语四六级不会直接考察语法,但是听力中需要听句子,阅读中需要句子,作文中需要写句子,而语法是句子的骨架,有句子的地方就有语法,所以语法基础是四六级做题之根本。下面是四级语法辨析:few、little和a few的区别的资料,希望对你有所帮助!

  

  There's a big difference between “few” and “a few”. In fact they have opposite meanings.

  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)。
