few, a few, little, a little 虽然都表示“少”,但 (1)few, a few是可数的, little, a little是不可数的。 (2)a few, a little含肯定意味,few, little含否定意味。这里所谓的“肯定意味”和“否定意味”应该这样来理解:同样是半杯水,口渴者会认为:There is little water in the glass. 而不口渴的人则会认为:There is a little water in the glass. 一: 1.few修饰可数名词复数。 2.few (= not many; hardly any)含否定意义;a few (= some; several; a small number of) 含肯定意义。 3. not a few = no few = quite a few = a good few = many。 4. 当 few受 every, last, past, next, some, very等词所修饰时,表示肯定意义,few之前不再有冠词。如: In the last few minutes, he checked up his paper again. It took us some few days to repair the machine. They are very few in number. There were too few of them. He goes to see his grandma every few weeks. 5. 在非正式文体中很少见,一般用或代替,如: Only a few people attended the meeting. 另外,little / a little Little remains to be done about it. (作主语) A little remains to be done. Please give me a little. (作宾语) He knows a little of everything. There is very / but little time left. (作定语) Don’t worry; you still have a little time. 1. little修饰不可数名词,表示“量”。 2. little含否定意义(反义词:much);a little含肯定意义(反义词:none)。 3. 在非正式英语中,一般很少用little,常用not much, only a little来代替,如: We haven’t got much money / time.

一、matter作可数名词,意为"事情;问题;情况"。作不可数名词,意为"物质;材料;东西"。例如: Let's leave that for the moment. We have more important matters to think about. 让我们先把那事搁一边吧。我们还有更重要的事情需要考虑呢。 The universe is made up of matter. 宇宙是由物质组成的。 I have nothing to do now. Could you offer me some reading matter? 我现在无事可做。你能给我点儿可读的东西吗? 二、matter作动词,意为"有关系;要紧"。通常用于否定句和疑问句,句中常常含有what, who, where, if等词,一般以it作主语。例如: It doesn't matter if I miss the train, because there's another later. 我要是误了这趟火车也不要紧,因为晚些时候还有一趟车呢。 Does it matter a great deal to her whether they come or not? 他们是否来,这与她有很大关系吗? 三、由matter构成的常用短语。 1. no matter ①不要紧;无关紧要。此短语可单独用,也可接that, whether引导的从句。例如: -I can't repair the mobile phone. 我不会修手机。 -No matter. I'll do it myself. 没关系。我自己来。 There is no matter whether he has worked abroad. 他有没有在国外工作过都没关系。 ②no matter+特殊疑问词;意为"无论......",用来引导状语从句。例如: No matter where you go, please let me know. 无论你去哪里,请告诉我一声。 2. the matter意为"有问题;出毛病;麻烦事",常常同不定代词anything, something, nothing等连用,意为"有点儿什么问题"或"没有什么问题"等。例如: -Is there anything the matter? 有什么问题吗? -Of course, there's something the matter. 当然,有问题。 -I heard he fell off the truck. Anything the matter with him at present? 我听说他从卡车上摔下来了。他现在怎么样了? -Nothing the matter. Thank you. 没事了。谢谢你。 3. as a matter of fact 事实上(用来加强语气)。例如: As a matter of fact, I know nothing about the matter. 事实上,我对此事一无所知。 4. for that matter 都一样(用于指出所说的两件事物中,后说的与先说的性质一样)。例如: Don't talk like that to the elder, or to anyone else for that matter. 不要跟长辈那样说话,其实跟谁也不要那样。 5. (be) a matter of (doing) sth. 取决于某事。例如: Success in business is simply a matter of knowing when to take a chance. 商业上的成功就在于懂得对时机的把握
