Unit 5 few, a few, little, a little 等的用法
虽然都表示“少”，但
（1）few, a few是可数的, little, a little是不可数的。
（2）a few, a little含肯定意味，few, little含否定意味。这里所谓的“肯定意味”和“否定意味”应该这样来理解：同样是半杯水，口渴者会认为：There is little water in the glass. 而不口渴的人则会认为：There is a little water in the glass.
1．few修饰可数名词复数。
2．few (= not many; hardly any)含否定意义；a few (= some; veral;

number of) 含肯定意义。
3．not a few = no few = quite a few = a good few = many。
