a-bit-a-little-a-little-bit-用法辨析

a_bit,alittle,alittlebit用法辨析倪晶晶区别一：alittle和little修饰或代替不可数名词，与much相对；afew和few修饰或代替可数名词，与many相对。alittle和afew含肯定语气，little和few含否定语气。一般说来，在only,just,still,quite,can,not等词后用alittle或afew；在very,so,some,the,no等词后用little或few。区别二：little的比较级和最高级分别是less,least；few的比较级和最高级是fewer,fewest。区别三：@alittle和abit都可用来修饰动词、形容词、副词和比较级；，可互换。Thespeakerspokeupabit/alittlesoastomakehimselfheardmoreclearly.演讲者把嗓门提高了一点儿,以便使别人听得更清楚。可以说：Thepricewouldjumpabit.也可以说：Thepricewouldjumpalittle.价格会上涨一点。Thisboxisabitheavierthantheotherone.=alittleheavierthantheotherone.这两句的意思都是：这个箱子比那个箱子重一点。可以说：Thereisstillabitmoreworktodo.=Thereisstillalittlemoreworktodo.还有点工作要做。@alittle可直接修饰名词，但abit后要加of后才可接名词，如alittlewater=abitofwater；Thereisalittle/abitoffoodleftforlunch.午饭只能吃剩下的一点食品了。当alittle修饰的名词前有the,this,that,所有格等限定词时，也要用alittleof的结构：Thisremindmealittleofthoseoldsayings.这使我想起了那些古老的谚语。注：在否定句中意义相反。notalittle=verymuch/extremely“不是一点点”，而notabit=notatall。“一点也不”Sheisnotabittired.(=Sheisnottiredatall.)她一点都不累。I’mnotalittletired.(I’mmuchtired.)我很累了。（不是一点点累，是很累）@abitof的另一种形式是bitsof,alittle则没有这种变体。@alittle=abit=alittlebit+形容词；2)alittle=abitof+名词@abit和alittle不能用来修饰“形容词+名词”的结构。例如，heavyboxes这样的结构，就不能用abit和alittle修饰，不能说abitheavyboxes；再比如hotweather，我们不可以说alittlehotweather.alittlebit的意思是“一点点”，用法与”abit”相同：Thisisalittlebittoodifficultforme.这对我来说有点难。Jackisalittlebitselfish.杰克有点自私。IspeakalittlebitofFrench.我讲一点法语。Thismademefeelalittlebitbetteraboutmyself.这使我感觉好点了。@abit通常修饰表示“令人不快”的形容词，例如sad,silly,cold,hungry,angry,difficult,heavy,expensive等;alittle则无论褒贬都可以修饰：Thesongisabitsad.这首歌有点伤感。YoumightsayI’mabitsilly.你可能会说我有点傻。MaryisalittleolderbutalittlemorebeautifulthanAnn.玛丽比安年纪更大但是更漂亮。Everyoneseemedalittlenervous.每个人看起来都有点紧张。@forabit和foralittle意思相同，相当于forawhile或forashorttime，可互换。Wetalkedforabit.(Wetalkedforashorttime.)我们谈了一会儿。Pleasehangonforabit.请等一会儿，不要挂断。练习：用abit或alittle填空。1.Thereis_________timeleft.2.Iwouldlikeyoutostayfor_________ifyouhavetime.3.Thiswillgiveusa_________oftime.4.Hewenttosleepsoon,forhewasnot_________tired.5.Idon'twanttostoptohavearest,becauseIamnot_________tired.Key：1.alittle2.abit,alittle3.abit4.alittle5.abit
