a few 和a little 都是用来表示少量的，那么它们的具体区别是什么呢? (1) (a) few用在复数可数名词之前，(a) little用在不可数名词之前。 He took a few biscuits. (=several) He took few biscuits(=not many) He took a little butter. (=some) He took little butter. (=not much) (2) few可由bardly any或almost no所取代，含否定的意味。 The composition is well written; it has few (=hardly any) mistakes. Few (=Almost no) men can solve it. (3) a few相当于some, several, 含肯定的意味。 He has a few (=some or several) friends. (4) a little和little之间的差别，就和a few和few的差别一样，只是(a) little须修饰不可数名词，表量或程度。 He grows worse; there is little hope of his recovery. He is not much better, but there is a little hope. |
