“量词:few、a few、little、a bit of”
🔒 登录后可标记已读- a few 和 few 只差一个 a,意思却几乎相反——多了那个 a,从「几乎没有」变成「还有一些」。
- a few(可数)和 a bit of / a little(不可数)表示「数量虽少但够用」,带正面语气,比如 I have a few ideas。
- few(可数)和 very little(不可数)表示「少到不够用」,带负面/失望语气,比如 Few people came to the meeting。
- 判断标准很简单:能数的东西配 few/a few,不能数的东西配 very little/a bit of,跟可数、不可数名词是同一套逻辑。
重点内容
a few / a bit of(a little)= 「有一些」,带有正面感
表示数量虽少,但感觉够用或超出预期。

few / very little = 「几乎没有」,带有负面感

常见错误
❌ I have few money. ✅ I have very little money. (money 是不可数名词,用 very little,不用 few)
❌ There is few milk in the fridge. ✅ There is very little milk in the fridge. (milk 不可数)
❌ A few of the students were a little late.(这个其实正确!)
❌ I have a few information. ✅ I have a bit of information. (information 不可数,用 a bit of / a little)
💡 简单记法:
- 能数的东西(apples, friends, books)→ a few / few
- 不能数的东西(time, money, milk)→ a bit of / very little
