2. a bit, a little
(1) a bit 和 a little 在肯定句中修飾動(dòng)詞、形容詞、副
詞及其比較級,可以換用,表示“一點(diǎn)兒”。如:
The speaker spoke up a bit / a little so as to make himself heard more clearly.
演講者把嗓音提高一點(diǎn),以便使別人聽得清楚。
(2) a bit 和 a little 在否定句中,意思正好相反。
not a bit = not at all
not a little = very much / extremely
I'm not a bit tired. = I'm not tired at all.
我一點(diǎn)也不累。
I'm not a little tired. = I'm very tired.
我非常累。
(3) a little 可直接作名詞的定語,而 a bit 則要在后面
加 of 構(gòu)成短語才能作定語,二者都只能修飾不可數(shù)
名詞。
There's only a little / a bit of food left for lunch.
午餐只剩一點(diǎn)兒食品了。
[注意] a bit of 的復(fù)數(shù)是 bits of,而a little不能變復(fù)
數(shù)。

插入語,通常位于句首,用逗號與句子隔開。

格。
(3) in words 意思是“用語言,口頭上”,也可以寫為
