"Little"和"few"都表示数量少或不多,但它们的用法上有所不同。
"Little"通常用于形容不可数名词,表示数量很少或几乎没有。例如:
- There is little milk left in the bottle.(瓶子里剩下很少的牛奶。)
- She has little experience in this field.(她在这个领域没有多少经验。)
- There is little hope of finding a cure for this disease.(找到治疗这种疾病的方法的希望不大。)
"Few"通常用于形容可数名词,表示数量很少或几乎没有。例如:
- There are few people in the park today.(今天公园里的人很少。)
- I have few friends who are interested in sports.(我没有多少对运动感兴趣的朋友。)
- There were few options available to us.(我们可选的选择很少。)
总的来说,"little"用于不可数名词,"few"用于可数名词。但是,在一些情况下,它们可以互换使用,如:
- Little progress has been made on this project.(在这个项目上进展很小。)
- Few progress has been made on this project.(在这个项目上进展很少。)
但是,这种用法并不是很常见,一般情况下,还是要根据名词的可数性来选择使用"little"或"few"。
