| 释义 | 1．严格地说，less 指量（quantity）不指数（number），如可以说 less money，less tea，less education，less traffic 等，但不可说 less yuan，less cups，less schools，less cars 等，该把 less 改作 fewer。说 less than ten yuan 是可以的，意思是“不满十元”，不作“不满十个一元”解。但事实上把 less 用作 fewer 解也有，如 less people 和 less houses。 2．He is less clever than his brother 和 He is less clever than you think he is 等句当然不错，但不及 He is not so clever as his brother 和 He is not so clever as you think he is 等普通。 3．注意 I am not interested in her，still less（或 much less）am I in love with her（我并不注意她，更不必说爱她了）里用 am I，不用 I am。 4．比较下面每组里的两句： 上面四句是下面四句的省略式： 在该用 still more 或 much more 的场合用 still less 或 much less 是英美人常有的错误。 5．关于 more less，less more 和 less less，参见 more 7 |
