英语学习者经常遇到的一个问题是“few”是否可数。要回答这个问题,我们需要深入了解“few”的含义和语法规则。
可数还是不可数?“Few”的奥秘
few的含义
“Few”表示少量或数量不足。它通常用于强调数量少于预期或理想的数量。例如:
There were few people at the meeting.(会上人很少。) John has few friends.(约翰的朋友很少。)
few的语法
“Few”在语法上通常被视为不可数名词。这意味着它不能与表示数量的词,例如“a”、“the”或数字一起使用。例如,以下句子是不正确的:
X There are a few people in the room.(正确:There are few people in the room.) X I have the few friends.(正确:I have few friends.) X I have ten few friends.(正确:I have few friends.)
例外情况
然而,在某些情况下,“few”也可以用作可数名词。当它表示特定数量的少量物品时,它可以与“a”或“the”一起使用。例如:
I have a few extra pencils.(我有一些额外的铅笔。) I need to buy a few more apples.(我需要再买几个苹果。)
这种情况并不常见,当“few”用作可数名词时,它通常表示一小群或集合。例如:
The few people who attended the meeting were very enthusiastic.(参加会议的少数人非常热情。) The few trees on the hilltop were gnarled and twisted.(山顶上的几棵树扭曲而多结。)
