2016年12月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)語(yǔ)法知識(shí)點(diǎn):few, little

字號(hào):

few, little, a few, a little:
    (a) few + 可數(shù)名詞, (a) little + 不可數(shù)名詞
    a few / a little 為肯定含義,還有一點(diǎn)
    few / little 為否定含義,沒(méi)有多少了。
    He has a few friends.   他有幾個(gè)朋友。
    He has few friends.    他幾乎沒(méi)有朋友。
    We still have a little time. 我們還有點(diǎn)時(shí)間。
    There is little time left.幾乎沒(méi)剩下什么時(shí)間了。
    典型例題:
    Although he 's wealthy,he spends___ on clothes.
    A. little  B. few C. a little  D. a few
    答案: A. spend所指的是錢(qián),不可數(shù),只能用little或 a little. 本句為although引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語(yǔ)從句,由句意知后句為否定含義,因此應(yīng)用little表示幾乎不。
    固定搭配:
    only a few (=few)  not a few (=many)  quite a few (=many)
    many a (=many)
    Many books were sold.
    Many a book was sold.
    賣(mài)出了許多書(shū)。
