    few、a few、little、a little的區別和聯絡:

    1. few / a few用來修飾可數名詞,few表示否定意義,沒有,幾乎沒有;

    a few表示有肯定意思, 有幾個。 例如:

    He has few friends here, he feels lonely.

    他這裡沒朋友,他感覺寂寞。

    There are a few eggs in the basket.籃子裡有幾個雞蛋。

    2.little / a little用來修飾不可數名詞,little表示否定意思,沒有,幾乎沒有。

    a little 表示肯定意思,有一點兒。 例如:

    There is little ink in my bottle, can you give me a little ink?

    我的瓶子裡沒有墨水了,你能給我點兒墨水嗎?

    補充內容:

    第一種,按照可數與不可數分類。

    可數的是:few和a few,比如說banana,apple啊這些可數的名詞前面我們可以加這兩個詞,few bananas就是表示幾乎沒有香蕉啦,而a few bananas呢就是表示還有些香蕉。

    few等同於not many,hardly any;a few等同於some、several、a small number of。

    不可數的是:little和a little,用來修飾不可數名詞,比如說salt,sugar,bread之類的,例如

    little salt就是表示沒有鹽啦,而a little salt則可以表示還有一點鹽的。

    當然,可數和不可數名詞種類還是挺多的,不止上面這些食品類的哦,只是舉個例子,好理解一些。

    第二種,按肯定與否定來分類。

    肯定的是:a little和a few

    否定的是:little和few

    什麼是肯定和否定呢,我們就需要通過幾個例句來了解一下,我們可以拿比較著名的半杯水思維區分樂觀和悲觀的人來舉個栗子。半杯水擺在我們面前,悲觀的人會認為,杯子裡幾乎沒有水了,就是:There is little water in the glass,而樂觀的人會認為,太好了,還有水誒,就是:There is a little water in the glass.

    再比如說,下面兩個栗子。

    (1)There are a few people in the playground.

    (2)There are few people in the playground.

    第一個句子表示,操場上還有些人,第二個句子表示操場上沒有人。

    但需要注意的是:

    (1)當 few受 every, last, past, next, some, very等詞所修飾時,表示肯定意義,few之前不再有冠詞。如:

    In the last few minutes, he checked up his paper again.

    It took us some few days to repair the machine.

    They are very few in number.

    There were too few of them.

    He goes to see his grandma every few weeks.

    (2)在非正式英語中,一般很少用little,常用not much, only a little來代替,如:

    We haven’t got much money / time.
