few 的用法说明

 

1. 比较 few a few:两者均表示复数意义,few 表示数量很少或几乎没有,强调“少”,含有否定意义:a few 表示数量虽然少但毕竟还有,强调“有”,含有肯定意义。比较:

His theory is very difficult, and few people understandit. 他的理论很深奥,没有几个能懂。

His theory is very difficult, but a few people understandit. 他的理论很深奥,但是有些人懂。

2. 一般说来,在 only, still, quite, not 等词之后通常用带有不定冠词 a few, 而在 very, some, the, no, so, too 等词之后通常用不带冠词 few。如:

Only a few students passed the exam. 只有几个学生考及格。

Very few people understand what he said. 几乎没什么人懂他的话。

【注】可说 very few a very few, 但不能说 very a few

3. 比较级最高级分别为 fewer, fewest。如;

Who has the fewest mistakes? 谁的错误最少?

You ought to smoke fewer cigarettes and drink less beer. 你应该少抽烟,少喝啤酒。

4. 用作形容词,其后可直接跟名词,无需用 of, 但是若其后名词之前有限定词修饰或者是代词或从句等,则必须要用介词 of。如(www.yywords.com)

Few of them know this. 他们当中没几个人知道这一点。

A few of these books are mine. 这些书当中有几本是我的。

5. a man [person] of few words (沉默寡言的人)是习词,其中的 few 前不用冠词或其它限定词。
