■ small 与 little形容词 little 可以修饰可数名词，也可以修饰不可数名词；修饰不可数名词时，如果前面没有 a，就有准否定意义（“没有多少”）。Small 则无论修饰可数或不可数名词，都只有肯定意义。 - ... white people lived on the rich valley floor in that little river town in Ohio, and the blacks populated the hills above it, taking small(*little) consolation in the fact that every day they could literally look down on the white folks. (Toni Morrison, Sula, p.13)…白人居住在俄亥俄州这个河边小镇的肥沃谷地，而黑人则住在上面的山上，但他们略可告慰的是：他们可以名副其实地天天都居高临下俯视白人。
