less 和little的区别
less是little的比较级.
less的用法:
1.用作名词,表示“较少”“更少”,主要用作宾语;但有时也用作主语或表语.如:
I want much less please.请不要给我那么多.
There’s less to do in this job than the last.这份工作没有上份工作量大.
The purchase price is less if you pay by cash.付现金的话,价钱便宜些.
2.用作形容词,作为 little 的比较级,通常与不可数名词连用.如:
Less oil was produced this year than last.今年产油比去年少.
I received less money than the others did.我比别人收到的钱少.
口语中有时可用于可数名词前,但不少语法学家反对这一用法,建议学生不要仿用.如:
I did expect more food and less people.我的确期望食物更多而人更少.
3.用作副词,可修饰形容词或副词,表示程度;也可修饰动词,表示次数、程度或数量等.如:
Which book is less difficult?哪本书较不困难?
Would you mind speaking less quickly?你可否别讲得那么快?
Eat less,drink less,and sleep more.少吃,少饮酒,多睡觉.
It rains less in London than in Manchester.伦敦的降雨量比曼彻斯特少.
little的用法:
1.表示量或程度方面的“少”,注意以下用法:
(1) 单独使用(即不受限定词修饰),表示“量”很少或几乎没有,强调“少”,带有否定意味,其后要接不可数名词:I have little time for reading.我几乎没有时间看书./ He knows little about it,does he?他对此几乎一无所知,是吗?
(2) 有比较等级 less,least:If we had followed his plan,we could have done the work better with less money and fewer people.要是我们按照他的计划去做,这项工作不仅可以做得更好,而且我们花的钱会更少,用的人也会更少.
(3) 关于little 与 a little:前者表示量很少甚至几乎没有,强调“少”,含有否定意味;而后者表示量虽不多,但毕竟还有,强调“有”,含有肯定意味:Fortunately,I had a little money on me.幸而我身上带着一点钱./ Unfortunately,I had little money on me.很不巧,我身上没带什么钱.
(4) (a) little 之后可直接跟名词,无需用介词 of;但是若其后的名词受到限定词(the,these,my,her等)的修饰,则必须用介词of:I understood little of his speech.我对他的演说几乎一点也不懂./ Give a little of that wine.给我一点那种酒.
(5) 用于句首作状语,其后用倒装词序:Little does he care whether we live or die.他一点也不管我们的死活.
