| 词组 | few |
| 释义 | 1．few 和a few 不同，参见 a, an 32。但 only a few 或 but a few 等于 few。 2．few 和 many 恰恰相反，但 a good few 作“很有几个”解，现在比较少用，跟 a good many 几乎相同。quite a few 主要用在美国，也可说相同。 3．not a few 作“许多”、“许多人”或“许多的”解，不作“一些也没有”解。 4．few 不可修饰 number，如不可说 There were a fewer number of pupils here a year ago。该把 fewer 改作 smaller，或把全句改作 There were fewer pupils here a year ago。 5．下面各句都不合习惯： The books in the room are few. （该改作 There are few books in the room。） The books in the room are a few. （该改作 There are a few books in the room。） His books are few. （该改作 He has few books。） His books are a few. （该改作 He has a few books。） The books are few 和 His books are few 有时可以说，但通常含有“虽然少”或“太少”的意思。例如： The books are few, but the pictures are many. The books are few, but they are all well selected. His books are few, though his pictures are many. His books are few, though they are all well selected. 6．Few people loved him, for they thought him unkind 里的 they 在语法上指 Few pepole 讲不通，该改作 many。 fiancé(e) 英语里没有适当的指“未婚夫”或“未婚妻”的单词，通常借用法语fiancé（男）和fiancée（女）。两个单词发音相同。 |
