few的用法有哪些

few用作代詞時,意思是“很少,幾個”,作主語時謂語動詞須用復數形式;only few, so few相當於few,表示否定; some few相當於some,表示肯定。

few的含義及用法

adj.很少的;很少;(與復數名詞和復數動詞連用)有些;幾乎沒有的。

pron.很少;有些(人、事物、地方);(與復數動詞連用)少數人;不和…壹般多。

n.很少數。

few用來強調小數目的否定意義,相當於說“很少”或“幾乎沒有”,它的含義是該數目令人失望或令人吃驚的小。如:

Few people like snakes. 很少有人喜歡蛇。

I know few of them. 他們當中我幾乎不認識什麽人。

a few的意思與few不同,它沒有否定含義,它表示“有幾個”,有時甚至還表示“壹些”。如:

After a few tries they gave up. 試過幾次之後他們就放棄了。

當要與壹段時間連用時,我們總是用a few,不用few。如:

We need a place where we can stay for a few days. 我們需要壹個能住幾天的地方。

另外,還要註意not a few和quite a few這兩個短語,不要誤認為它們是反義詞,其實它們幾乎是同義詞,都可表示“不少”“相當多”的意思。如:

Not a few of the members were absent. 不少會員未出席。

Quite a few of us are worried. 我們不少人很著急。
