bit和alittle都作"一点儿"讲,但用法不同.1)abit和alittle在肯定句中修饰动词、形容词、副词和比较级时可以互换,表示"一点儿"的意思.例如:
Thespeakerspokeupabit/alittlesoastomakehimselfheardmoreclearly.
演讲者把嗓门提高了一点儿,以便使别人听得更清楚.2)abit和alittle在否定句中的意思恰恰相反,notabit相当于"notatall"(一点儿都不);notalittle相当于"very(much)"或"extremely"(很、非常).例如:
Sheisnotabittired.(=Sheisnottiredatall.)她一点都不累.3)alittle可以直接作定语修饰名词,而abit则要在后面加of构成短语才能作定语,两者都只能修饰不可数名词.例如:Thereisalittle/abitoffoodleftforlunch.午饭只能吃剩下的一点食品了.4)abitof的另一种形式是bitsof,alittle则没有这种变体.例如:Besidesthis,heusedpartofanoldarmywirelessset,andsomebitsofwood.除此之外,他还利用了一部分旧的军用无线电发报机的一部分零件和一些木片.
.many,much,(a)few,(a)little
a.many,(a)few只用于可数名词前,much,(a)little只用于不可数名词前,如:
many(afew,few)books
much(alittle,little)water
b.many和much主要用在否定句和疑问句中,但它们前面加too或so时就多用在肯定句中,如:
Wedidn'tspendmuchmoney.
Howmanybooksdoyouhave?
Youmadetoo(so)manymistakes. c.afew(=several)和alittle(=some)含肯定意义;
few(=notmany)和little(=notmuch)含否定意义.few,afew,little,alittle
虽然都表示“少”,但
(1)few,afew是可数的,little,alittle是不可数的.
(2)afew,alittle含肯定意味,few,little含否定意味.这里所谓的“肯定意味”和“否定意味”应该这样来理同样是半杯水,口渴者会认为:Thereislittlewaterintheglass.而不口渴的人则会认为:Thereisalittlewaterintheglass.一:
1.few修饰可数名词复数.
2.few(=notmany;hardlyany)含否定意义;afew(=some;several;asmall
numberof)含肯定意义.
3.notafew=nofew=quiteafew=agoodfew=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:
Inthelastfewminutes,hecheckeduphispaperagain.
Ittookussomefewdaystorepairthemachine.
Theyareveryfewinnumber.
Thereweretoofewofthem.
Hegoestoseehisgrandmaeveryfewweeks.
5.在非正式文体中很少见,一般用或代替,如:
Onlyafewpeopleattendedthemeeting.另外,little/alittle
Littleremainstobedoneaboutit.(作主语)
Alittleremainstobedone.
Pleasegivemealittle.(作宾语)
Heknowsalittleofeverything.
Thereisvery/butlittletimeleft.(作定语)
Don’tworry;youstillhavealittletime.
1.little修饰不可数名词,表示“量”.
2.little含否定意义(反义词:much);alittle含肯定意义(反义词:none).
3.在非正式英语中,一般很少用little,常用notmuch,onlyalittle来代替,如:
Wehaven’tgotmuchmoney/time.
much和many都是很多的意思.
much修饰不可数名词,如Idon'thavemuchmoney.
many修饰可数名词,如manybooks,manypeople……
lots+of=alotsof.
后接可数、不可数名词皆可.alot=verymuch.
很,非常.通常放在肯定句句末.
quiteafew相当多.
比如:Quiteafewofthestudentswerelate.不少学生迟到了.
但是因为是afew,所以+可数名词
quitealittle许多、相当多.=much
但是语气较much等词更加强烈,可作为加强语气的短语使用.
quiteabit和quitealot
这两个在英语上的解释是:Ifyou'vegotquiteabitofsomething,orquitealotofsomething,youhaveafairlylargeamountofit.其实也就是相当多,很多的意思.
比如:
Georgemadequiteabitofmoneyinhisfirstbusiness,butinsteadofretiringyoung,hewentontomakequitealotmore.
Ifyouwanttolearntoplaythepiano,you'llneedtospendquitealotofmoneyonlessons,andspendquiteabitoftimepractising.
