英语讲义【23】few & a few 一 a 之别

【简介】感谢网友“雕龙文库”参与投稿,这里小编给大家分享一些,方便大家学习。

  下面是一句从一张餐馆广告中看到的话:

  If you have few years of experience in managing a fine dining restaurant and possess the capability to organize and operate banquet functions, you are the person we are looking for.

  这句话很清楚,但是否有不妥之处?有!看起来是芝麻绿豆事,但却是关系到数目和数量的问题。

  英语里的数目词包括many, a few, few, a large number of 等。数量词是much, a little, little, a great deal of等。前者和可数复数名词连用,如例①-③;后者则和不可数名词连用,如例④-⑥:

  ① Jason has written many books.

  ② David has a few good friends.

  ③ There are a large number of people in the cinema.

  ④ How much money do you need?

  ⑤ I need only a little sugar for my coffee.

  ⑥ One can get a great deal of knowledge from reading.

  在数目词中,有few和a few两个。看似相同,其实差别甚大,一不小心,可能有错。例如:

  ⑦ The minister is leaving Singapore for few days.

  ⑧ Many students here can speak English quite fluently, but a few can write well.

  显然,⑦里的few和⑧里的a few要对换,才符合全句的意思。

  Few的意思是not many( 不多;少);反义词是many 。A few的意思是some(一些);反义词里none(没有)。例如:

  ⑨ Though Jason is not sociable, he has a few bosom friends.

  ⑩ Mary is very extroverted, but she has few intimate friends.

  11. The teacher has spotted a few grammatical errors in her essay.

  12. There are few errors in Bettys report; it is excellent.

  从上面例子看,a few和few的意思有些相似,但在句中整体的含义有差别。A few出现之处,few不适合,反之亦然。

  Few约等于little:a few和a little相近。但 little和a little只和不可数名词连用,例如:

  13. As we have little money left, we should spend carefully.

  14. There is still a little hope, so dont give up.

  13里的little和14里的a little语意分明,各得其所。如果两个对调,便牛头不对马嘴,格格不入。

  餐馆广告中的few对吗?是不是应该改为a few呢?
