“a little of”和“a bit of”的區(qū)別有如下幾點(diǎn):
a bit和a little在肯定句中修飾動(dòng)詞、形容詞、副詞和比較級(jí)時(shí)可以互換,表示"一點(diǎn)兒"的意思.
例如:The speaker spoke up a bit/a little so as to make himself heard more clearly.
演講者把嗓門提高了一點(diǎn)兒,以便使別人聽得更清楚.
a bit和a little在否定句中的意思恰恰相反,not a bit相當(dāng)于"not at all"(一點(diǎn)兒都不);not a little相當(dāng)于"very(much)"或"extremely"(很、非常).
例如:She is not a bit tired.(=She is not tired at all.)她一點(diǎn)都不累.
a little可以直接作定語修飾名詞,而a bit則要在后面加of構(gòu)成短語才能作定語,兩者都只能修飾不可數(shù)名詞.
例如:There is a little/a bit of food left for lunch.
午飯只能吃剩下的一點(diǎn)食品了.
a bit of的另一種形式是bits of,a little則沒有這種變體.
例如:Besides this,he used part of an old army wireless set,and some bits of wood.除此之外,他還利用了一部分舊的軍用無線電發(fā)報(bào)機(jī)的一部分零件和一些木片.
