问题描述:
Unless we grow our own vegetables,raise our own poultry,pigs and cattle and process everything we eat,there is little chance of living without worrying about food safety.
为什么用little 而不是few?chance表示机会不是可数的吗
答
表示“机会”时,确实chance是可数名词.但在这句话中,there is little chance of 表示“几乎没什么机会”,是否定的.说话者不会把它看成多个机会的.习惯还是用little chance,或者说这个句型习惯用there is little chance (there are few chances也可以用,但用得不是很多的)
As things stand,there is little chance of a settlement in the dispute.
就目前情况看,解决这一纠纷的希望不大.
