few修饰可数名词
little修饰不可数名词
a little 和 a few 有肯定的意思,意思是：有一点
little 和 few 有否定的意思，意思是：几乎没有
few, a few, little, a little
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.
一：
1．few修饰可数名词复数。
2．few (= not many; hardly any)含否定意义；a few (= some; several; a small
number of) 含肯定意义。
3． not a few = no few = quite a few = a good few = many。
4． 当 few受 every, last, past, next, some, very等词所修饰时，表示肯定意义，few之前不再有冠词。如：
In the last few minutes, he checked up his paper again.
It took us some few days to repair the machine.
They are very few in number.
There were too few of them.
He goes to see his grandma every few weeks.
5． 在非正式文体中很少见，一般用或代替，如：
Only a few people attended the meeting.
另外，little / a little
Little remains to be done about it. (作主语)
A little remains to be done.
Please give me a little. (作宾语)
He knows a little of everything.
There is very / but little time left. (作定语)
Don’t worry; you still have a little time.
1． little修饰不可数名词，表示“量”。
2． little含否定意义(反义词：much)；a little含肯定意义(反义词：none)。
3． 在非正式英语中，一般很少用little，常用not much, only a little来代替，如：
We haven’t got much money / time.
a little和a few 与some同义，“一些”，前者修饰不可数名词，后者修饰可数名词（a little也可译为一个（或各种量词）某物）
little和few同义，译为几乎没有，属于否定词，前者修饰不可数名词，后者修饰可数名词
a little bit和a bit修饰形容词原级或比较级，译为“有点”
a bit of修饰名词，译为“一点，一些”
1. a bit和a little都表示“稍微”、“有点”之意,都可作程度副词,修饰动词、形容词(包括形容词化的现在分词和过去分词)、副词、比较级。在肯定句中可以互换。例如:
Will you please turn down the radio a bit/a little? (修饰动词)
She’s a bit/a little afraid of the teacher.(修饰形容词)
The patient feels a bit/a little better to-day.(修饰比较级)
He did his homework a bit/a little care-lessly.(修饰副词)
2. a bit和a little都有some“一些”之意,后接不可数名词。例如:
I’ve got only a little/a bit of money with me today. I’m afraid I can’t help you.
3. for a bit和for a little意思相同,相当于for a while或for a short time,可互换。 例如:
I’m going to sleep for a bit/a little.
Let’s rest for a bit/a little.
不同之处：
1. a little可用作形容词,直接修饰不可数名词;而a bit不能用作形容词,修饰名词时,其后须加上of,构成“a bit of+n.”结构。例如:
Please give me a bit of paper.
He knows a bit of French.
但是,当a little修饰的名词前有this,that以及所有格等限定词时,也要用a little of结构。例如:
I want to drink a little of that wine.
2. a bit可构成“a bit of+不定冠词+名词”,而a little则不能。例如:
I’m afraid your friend is a bit of a thief.
3. a bit和a little的否定式意义正好相反。not a bit=not at all,意为“毫不”;而not a little=very much,意为“非常”,“很”。例如:
He is not a bit tired.他一点不累。
He is not a little tired.他很累。
第二部分：(a) few和(a) little的用法区别
(1) (a) few用在复数可数名词之前，(a) little用在不可数名词之前。
He took a few biscuits. (=several)
He took few biscuits(=not many)
He took a little butter. (=some)
He took little butter. (=not much)
(2) few可由hardly any或almost no所取代，含否定的意味。
The composition is well written; it has few (=hardly any) mistakes.
Few (=Almost no) men can solve it.
(3) a few相当于some, several, 含肯定的意味。
He has a few (=some or several) friends.
(4) a little和little之间的差别，就和a few和few的差别一样，只是(a) little须修饰不可数名词，表量或程度。
He grows worse; there is little hope of his recovery.
He is not much better, but there is a little hope.
