a little, a little bit, a bit的比較,表示一點點的用法
a bit 及 a little的區別
I.相同之處
1)a bit與a little都可作程度副詞,表示「稍微、一點」的意思,修飾動詞、形容詞、比較級等,二者可以互換。
例如:
Will you please turn down the radio [a bit/a little]?
(修飾動詞)請你把收音機聲音關小一點好嗎?
She's [a bit/a little] afraid of the teacher.
(修飾形容詞)她有點怕老師。
Her mother feels [a bit/a little] better today.
(修飾比較級)她母親今天感覺好一些。
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兒,以便使別人聽得更清楚。
2).for a bit和for a little意思相同,相當於for a while或for a short time,可互換。例如:
Let's rest for [a bit/a little].
讓我們休息一下。
II.不同之處
1).a little可以直接修飾不可數名詞,而a bit修飾不可數名詞時,只能用a bit of。例如:
Tom has a little money./Tom has a bit of money.湯姆有一點錢。
但是,當a little修飾的名詞前有this,that,所有格等限定詞時,也要用a little of結構。例如:
I want to drink a little of that drink.我想喝點那種飲料。
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報機的一部分零件和一些木片。
2).a bit和a little與not連用時,意思大相逕庭。
not a bit=not at all,意為「一點也不」;not a little=very much,意為「十分、相當、極其」。
例如:
He is not a bit tired.=He is not tired at all.
他一點不累。
It doesn't make a bit of sense to me.=It doesn't make sense to me at all.
它對我毫無意義。
He is not a little tired.他很累。
a little 及 a little bit的區別
a little bit 是口語當中常用到的,外國人特喜歡說話時用到a little bit。書寫中常用a little 兩者都一樣
a little 可以修飾名詞 a little water
可以修飾形容詞 a little cold
可以修飾副詞 a little loud
但是a little bit 不能修飾名詞,它相當於副詞類詞組
