few、little、a、few、a、little的区别及用法.doc

Unit 5 few, a few, little, a little 等的用法虽然都表示“少”，但 （1）few, a few是可数的, little, a little是不可数的。 （2）a few, a little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”应该这样来理解：同样是半杯水，口渴者会认为：There is little water in the glass. 而不口渴的人则会认为：There is a little water in the glass. 1few修饰可数名词复数。 2few (= not many; hardly any)含否定意义；a few (= some; several; a small number of) 含肯定意义。 3 not a few = no few = quite a few = a good few = 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： In the last few minutes, he checked up his paper again.
