区别一a little和little修饰或代替不可数名词，与much相对，表示“多”；a few和few修饰或代替可数名词与many相对，表示“少”。a little和a few含肯定语气， little和few含否定语气。一般说来，在only, just, still, quite, can, not等词后用a little或a few；在very, so, some, the, no等词后用little或few

1. —Are the new rules working? —Yes. ________ books are stolen. (全国卷)
A. Few                               
B. More
C. Some                              
D. None
【分析】答案选A。句意为：新的规章制度奏效吗？奏效，几乎没什么书被盗了。None后要加of才对。

2. —Would you like some wine? —Yes, just ________. (全国卷)
A. little                                
B. very little
C. a little                              
D. little bit
【分析】答案选C。由yes和just可知，语气肯定，用a little (wine)。very little前不可再用just修饰。 区别二little的比较级和最高级分别是less, least；few的比较级和最高级是fewer, fewest。

如：If we had followed the plan, we could have done the job better with ________ money and ________ people. (全国卷)
A. less; less                          
B. fewer; fewer
C. less; fewer                       
D. fewer; less
【分析】答案选C。money是不可数名词，排除B和D；people是可数名词，排除A。 区别三比较a little和a bit：a little和a bit都可用来修饰形容词或副词；a little可直接修饰名词，但a bit后要加of后才可接名词，如a little water=a bit of water；not a little =very / much，而not a bit = not at all。
