问题描述:

the text is not difficult.there are ___ new words in it .是a few 还是 few

前面一句说:这篇课文不难,说明新词比较少.所以选择few
few、a few、little、a little的区别和联系:
few / a few用来修饰可数名词,few表示否定意义,没有,几乎没有;
a few表示有肯定意思, 有几个. 例如:
He has few friends here, he feels lonely.
他这里没朋友,他感觉寂寞.
There are a few eggs in the basket.篮子里有几个鸡蛋.
little / a little用来修饰不可数名词,little表示否定意思,没有,几乎没有.
a little 表示肯定意思,有一点儿. 例如:
There is little ink in my bottle, can you give me a little ink?
我的瓶子里没有墨水了,你能给我点儿墨水吗?

[辩析]
1. few 与 little 作形容词用,都表示“几乎没有”,相当于一个否定词.具体区别:
(1) few 后面跟复数可数名词. e.g. few books few students
(2) little 后面跟单数不可数名词. e.g. little water little food
e.g. He has few friends. 他没有几个朋友.
They has little money. 他们没有什麽钱
2. a few 与 a little 都表示肯定的意思,指“有一点,有一些”.具体区别:
(1) a few 后加可数名词复数
(2)a little 后加不可数名词单数.
e.g. I'm going to buy a few bananas.
I can speak only a little Chinese.
3. a little 与 little 也可以用作副词, 表示“有点”“稍稍” 表示“很少”
e.g. ----Can you speak English?
----Yes, but only a little.
This book is a little more difficult than that one.
( 可修饰形容词比较级)
She slept little last night. 昨天晚上,她没有怎么睡觉.
