a little = a bit
a bit和a little都作"一點(diǎn)兒"講,但用法不同.
1)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.
2)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.
3)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.
4)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.

二、a little / a bit / a little bit / for a bit 用法辨析
► 在肯定句中,a little和a bit意思相同：
This box is a bit heavier than the other one.
This box is a little heavier than the other one.這兩句的意思都是：
這個(gè)箱子比那個(gè)箱子重一點(diǎn).
再比如說“價(jià)格會(huì)上漲一點(diǎn).”我們可以說：The price would jump a bit.也可以說：
The price would jump a little.
“還有點(diǎn)工作要做.”可以說：There is still a bit more work to do.
也可以說：There is still a little more work to do.
► not a bit和not a little 的意思正好相反.not a bit是“一點(diǎn)也不”的意思,和not at all意思相同；not a little的意思是“不是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)”,和much意思相同：
I’m not a bit tired.(I’m not tired at all.) 我一點(diǎn)也不累.
I’m not a little tired.(I’m much tired.) 我很累了.（不是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)累,是很累）
► a bit通常修飾表示“令人不快”的形容詞,例如sad,silly,cold,hungry,angry,difficult,heavy,expensive等：
The song is a bit sad.這首歌有點(diǎn)傷感.
You might say I’m a bit silly.你可能會(huì)說我有點(diǎn)傻.
a little則無論褒貶都可以修飾：
Mary is a little older but a little more beautiful than Ann.瑪麗比安年紀(jì)更大但是更漂亮.
Everyone seemed a little nervous.每個(gè)人看起來都有點(diǎn)緊張.
► a bit后面不能直接接名詞,接名詞要用a bit of的結(jié)構(gòu)；a little則可以直接修飾名詞：
This will add a little fun to the game.如果要用a bit來修飾fun,要用a bit of的結(jié)構(gòu)：
This will add a bit of fun to the game.這可以使這個(gè)游戲更有趣一點(diǎn).
當(dāng)a little修飾的名詞前有the,this,that,所有格等限定詞時(shí),也要用a little of的結(jié)構(gòu)：
This remind me a little of those old sayings.這使我想起了那些古老的諺語.
► a bit 和a little不能用來修飾“形容詞+名詞”的結(jié)構(gòu).例如,heavy boxes這樣的結(jié)構(gòu),就不能用a bit和a little修飾,不能說a bit heavy boxes；再比如hot weather,我們不可 以說a little hot weather.
► a little bit的意思是“一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)”,用法與”a bit”相同：
This is a little bit too difficult for me.這對(duì)我來說有點(diǎn)難.
Jack is a little bit selfish.杰克有點(diǎn)自私.
I speak a little bit of French.我講一點(diǎn)法語.
This made me feel a little bit better about myself.這使我感覺好點(diǎn)了.
► for a bit的意思是 for a short time：
We talked for a bit.(We talked for a short time.) 我們談了一會(huì)兒.
Please hang on for a bit.請(qǐng)等一會(huì)兒,不要掛斷
