a little 和a bit 的区别

a little 和a bit 的区别

区别是：

a bit和a little在肯定句中修饰动词、形容词、副词和比较级时可以互换,表示"一点儿"的意思。a bit和a little在否定句中的意思恰恰相反,not a bit相当于"not at all"(一点儿都不);not a little相当于"very(much)"或"extremely"(很、非常)。a little可以直接作定语修饰名词,而a bit则要在后面加of构成短语才能作定语,两者都只能修饰不可数名词。

例句辨析：
a bit
1、You've been a bit soft with him.
你对他软了些。
2、We got a bit of a scare.

我们受了点惊吓。
3、You notice that your breathing has speeded up a bit

你注意到自己的呼吸加快了一些。

a little
1、Excuse me I seem to be a little bit lost.
对不起，我好像有点听不明白了。
2、This is the end of a tour so I'm a little antsy, I guess.

3、Look, I wanted to apologize for today. I think I was a little hard on you.

听我说，我想就今天的事向你道歉。我觉得我对你有点过于苛刻了。

a bit和a little都作"一点儿"讲,但用法不同.
1)a bit和a little在肯定句中修饰动词、形容词、副词和比较级时可以互换,表示"一点儿"的意思.例如:

3)a bit用作定语时,意为“一点儿”,不能直接修饰不可数名词,但可用“a bit of ＋不可数名词”结构,此时a bit of ＝ a little． 如：

She knows a bit of ／a little French．（她懂一点儿法语.）
