Question

a bit和a little的区别
After a long work,my daughter was not_____tired and couldn't go any further.
A.a bit B.any more C.at all D.a little
为什么不能选A?

Answer 1

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:
The speaker spoke up a bit/a little so as to make himself heard more clearly.
演讲者把嗓门提高了一点儿,以便使别人听得更清楚.
2)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).例如:
She is not a bit tired.(=She is not tired at all.)她一点都不累.
3)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.例如:
There is a little/a bit of food left for lunch.
午饭只能吃剩下的一点食品了.
