"a little"和"little"是两个常用的英语短语,它们的用法有所不同。

一、

1."a little"表示"一点点",通常用于修饰不可数名词,例如:

Can I have a little milk in my coffee?

She needs a little help with her homework.

I have a little money saved up for a rainy day.

2.但仍然有一些。它可以用于表示程度的轻微增加或减少,例如:

I'm feeling a little better today.

Can you turn up the volume a little bit?

二、

1."little"则表示"很少"或"几乎没有",通常用于修饰不可数名词或可数名词的复数形式,例如:

There is little time left to finish the project.

She has little patience for people who are always late.

The children have little toys to play with.

2.可以用于表示程度的强烈减少,例如:

He has little interest in sports.

There is little hope for a cure for this disease.

需要注意的是,"a little"和"little"的用法也取决于上下文和语境。在某些情况下,它们可以互换使用,例如:

I have little money. (我没有多少钱。)

I have a little money. (我有一点点钱。

在这个例子中,"little"和"a little"都可以用于表示数量很少的钱。
