1. a little可用作形容詞,直接修飾不可數名詞;而a bit不能用作形容詞,修飾名詞時,其後須加上of,構成“a bit of+n.”結構。
例如: Please give me a bit of paper. He knows a bit of French. 但是,當a little修飾的名詞前有this,that以及所有格等限定詞時,也要用a little of結構。例如: I want to drink a little of that wine.
2. a bit可構成“a bit of+不定冠詞+名詞”,而a little則不能。例如: I’m afraid your friend is a bit of a thief.
3. a bit和a little的否定式意義正好相反。not a bit=not at all,意為“毫不”;而not a little=very much,意為“非常”,“很”。例如: He is not a bit tired.他一點不累。He is not a little tired.他很累。
