If I ask you about women, you'll probably give me a syllabus of your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy.

——Good Will Hunting

如果我問關于女人的事, 你大可以向我如數(shù)家珍,你可能上過幾次床,但你沒法說出當自己在女人身旁醒來時,那份涌自內心真正的喜悅。?

——《心靈捕手》

little, few, several

這幾個詞用作形容詞時均含“少量的”之意。

little只修飾不可數(shù)名詞,含否定意義。

few只修飾可數(shù)名詞的復數(shù)形式,側重指數(shù)量非常少,給人一種模糊概念,含否定意義。

several修飾可數(shù)名詞的復數(shù)形式,指至少有3個,但不會超過5、6個。

三、下面我們來學習一下含有few的常見短語
