little; a little辨识

little指"很少"、"几乎没有",表否定含义;

a little指"少量"、"有点儿",表肯定含义。试比较:

There is little water in the glass. 杯子里没有多少水了。

There is a little water in the glass. 杯子里有点儿水。

a little还可修饰动词、形容词或副词。如:

I like chicken and eggs a little. 我有点喜欢鸡肉和鸡蛋

I like to sleep a little longer in the morning. 我喜欢在早上久睡一会儿。
