A a little
／little（形容词）用在不可数名词之前：a little salt
／little salt一点盐／没有多少盐a few
／few（形容词）用在复数名词之前：a few people
／few people有几个人／没有几个人这四种形式也都能用做代词使用，或单独使用或与
of连用：-Sugar
？-A little
，please．-
要糖吗？-

．这其中只有几个用得着。
B a litile
，a few（形容词和代词）a little
指少量或者说话人认为少的量； a few指小数目或者说话人认为小的数目。把
only放在a little／a few之前，是为了强调说话人认为该数量的确很小。Only a few of our customers have accounts
．我们的顾客中只有少数人是记账的。
但是把
quite放在a few之前就大大增大了这个数量：I have quite a few books on art
．我有不少关于艺术的书。（许多书）
C little
和few（形容词和代词）：little
和few意为很少或没有，几乎具有否定意义：There was little time for consultation
．几乎没有时间商量。
Little is known about the side
－effects of this drug．这种药物有些什么副作用，现在还不大清楚。
Few towns have such splendid trees
．有这么好看的树木的城市不多。
little
和few的这种用法主要限于书面英语（可能由于在日常会话中little和few容易被误认为是 a little／a few）。因此，在日常会话中little和few通常由hardly any替代，也可以由动词否定式+much／many替代：We saw little
．我们没有看到什么。相当于：
We saw hadly anything
．／We didn′t see much．我们几乎什么都没有看到。
Tourists come here but few stay overnight
．有游客到这里来，但很少有人过夜。相当于：
Tourists come here but hadly any stay overnight
．有游客到这里来，但几乎没有人在这里过夜。
但如果
little和few由so，very，too，extremely，comparatively，relatively等词修饰，就可以较自由地使用。fewer
（比较级）也可以更自由地使用。I′m unwilling to try a drug I know so little about
．我不乐意服我知之甚少的药。
They have too many technicians
，we have too few．他们的技术员太多，而我们的又太少。

．蝴蝶的数量每年都在减少。

a）与动词连用：It rained a little during the night
．夜里下了一点儿雨。

有点儿不情愿地a little impatiently
有点儿不耐心地（
c）与形容词和副词的比较级连用：The paper should be a little thicker
．这纸应该再厚一点儿。
Can′t you walk a little faster
？你不能走得快一点儿吗？
在（
b）中可以用 rather来代替a little。 rather也可以用于比较级之前（参见第42节），但a little更常用一些。在英语口语中
a bit可以在上述例子中用以替代a little。2
在比较正式的文体中，little主要同better或more连用：His second suggestion was little
（=not much） better than his first．他的第二个建议比第一个好不了多少。
He was little
（＝ not much） more than a child when his father died．他父亲去世时，他差不多还是个孩子。
在正式的英语中，
little可用在某些动词如 expect，know，sus－pect，think等之前：He little expected to find himself in prison
．他几乎没有料到自己会进监狱。
He little thought that one day…
他几乎从不曾想过有一天
……注意像
little－known和little－used这样的形容词的用法：a little
－known painter一个藉藉无名画家a little-used footpath
一条几乎没有人走的小道a little 和little，a few和few的区别及表示：
1、a little和little后面加不可数名词。
