词组 | a few |
释义 | a fewn. or adj.A small number (of people or things); some. 少数;几个,一些。◆ The dry weather killed most of Mother's flowers, but a few were left. —A few is different in meaning from few, which emphasizes the negative; a few means 'some,' but few means 'not many.' a few干燥的天气使母亲养的花大都枯死了,但还剩下一些活着。在意义上与few不同,后者强调否定之意;a few意为“一些”,而few 则意为“不多,很少”。◆ We thought no one would come to lunch, but a few came. —Sometimes a few is used with only, and then it is negative.我们以为没有人会来吃午饭的,但结果还是来了一些人。有时a few与only连用,这时它就表示否定了。◆ We thought many people would come to lunch, but only a few came. —Sometimes used like an adverb.我们以为会有很多人来吃午饭的,但结果只来了几个人。有时用作副词。◆ Three students have no seats; we need a few more chairs. 3个学生没有座位;我们还需要几把椅子。 |
