“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 Betty's 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 don't give up.

收起

few 是几乎没有 ;a few 是有一些

a few,后跟可数名词复数,意思是一些
few,后跟可数名词复数,意思是几乎没有,很少

few几乎没有,表示否定
a few 几个、some的意思,表示肯定
