畢竟是詞組,沒(méi)有算不算,但作用相當(dāng)于副詞.
不能那樣改.
下面是二者用法:
1.a bit和a little都表示“稍微”、“有點(diǎn)”之意,都可作程度副詞,修飾動(dòng)詞、形容詞(包括形容詞化的現(xiàn)在分詞和過(guò)去分詞)、副詞、比較級(jí).在肯定句中可以互換.例如:
Will you please turn down the radio a bit/a little?(修飾動(dòng)詞)
She’s a bit/a little afraid of the teacher.(修飾形容詞)
The patient feels a bit/a little better to-day.(修飾比較級(jí))
He did his homework a bit/a little care-lessly.(修飾副詞)
2.a bit和a little都有some“一些”之意,后接不可數(shù)名詞.例如:
I’ve got only a little/a bit of money with me today.I’m afraid I can’t help you.
3.for a bit和for a little意思相同,相當(dāng)于for a while或for a short time,可互換.例如:
I’m going to sleep for a bit/a little.
Let’s rest for a bit/a little.
II.不同之處
1.a little可用作形容詞,直接修飾不可數(shù)名詞;而a bit不能用作形容詞,修飾名詞時(shí),其后須加上of,構(gòu)成“a bit of+n.”結(jié)構(gòu).例如:
Please give me a bit of paper.
He knows a bit of French.
但是,當(dāng)a little修飾的名詞前有this,that以及所有格等限定詞時(shí),也要用a little of結(jié)構(gòu).例如:
I want to drink a little of that wine.
2.a bit可構(gòu)成“a bit of+不定冠詞+名詞”,而a little則不能.例如:
I’m afraid your friend is a bit of a thief.
3.a bit和a little的否定式意義正好相反.not a bit=not at all,意為“毫不”;而not a lit-tle=very much,意為“非常”,“很”.例如:
He is not a bit tired.他一點(diǎn)不累.
He is not a little tired.他很累.
