文档介绍：1 a bit/ a little
这两个词都意为“一点儿”有时可以互换,但有时不能。
Ⅰ.二者作程度副词修饰形容词、副词、动词或比较级时,意义相同,为“一点儿”“有些”。如:
I am a bit / a little hungry. 我有点饿。
He walked a bit / a little slowly. 他走路有点慢。
Ⅱ.二者都可以作名词词组,充当主语或宾语。如:
① A little / bit is enough for me. 我有一点儿就够了。
② I know only a little / a bit about her. 我对她的情况只了解一点。
Ⅲ。a little可直接修饰名词;a bit后须加of才可以。如:
There is a little water in the bottle. = There is a bit of water in the bottle.
[注意] a little of 后的名词通常特指,表“……中的一些”,如:
①May I have a little of your tea?
Ⅳ. 否定形式 not a little 作状语,相当于very/ quite, “很”, “非常”;作定语和宾语时,相当于much, 意为“许多”。而not a bit 作状语时,相当于not at all, 意为“一点也不”,作宾语时则相当于not much. Eg:
He is not a little (=very) hungry. 他饿极了。
He is not a bit (=not at all) 。
She ate not a little (=much). 她吃得很多。
Ⅴ. Not a bit 中的not 可以分开使用;not a little中的not 则不能分开。Eg:
He felt not a bit tired. = He didn’t feel a bit tired. 他觉得一点也不累。
He felt not a little tired. 他觉得非常累。但不能说:He didn’t fell a little tired.
§2 a few/ few/ a little/ little
Ⅰ. a few和few修饰可数名词,a little和little修饰不可数名词;a few和a little表示肯定意义,few和little表示否定意义,可受only修饰。如:
① Few people will agree to the plan because it’s too dangerous.
②This text is easy to understand though there are a few new words in it.
There is little water left in glass. Will you please give me some
Don’t worry, we have a little time left.
§3 about/ on
Ⅰ.about “关于”表示的内容较为普通或指人时用它。侧重于叙事,多用于叙述个人经历和事迹,故事内容涉及一些较浅的问题。是非正式用语。
Ⅱ.on “关于”侧重于论述政治理论,国际形势,学术报告等。也就是说,当表示这本书,这篇文章或演说是严肃的或学术性的可供专门研究这一问题的人阅读时用。eg:
This is a text book on African history. 这是一本关于非州历史的教科书。[注]:它们有时可通用。
§4 above/over/on/upon

Ⅱ. above 着重指:在……上方,不一定含有垂直在上的意思。反义词为:below.
The sun rose above the horizon. 太阳升到了地平线上。
