a few 几个(用于可数名词之前);pity n.遗憾;instead adv. 代替;advice n.建议,忠告;
四 Notes on the text & 课文注释
[1] Just a little, please.请稍加一点儿。
a little (=some),一些/一点,用于修饰不可数名词。又如:
a little money/ water/coffee
一点儿钱/水/咖啡
a few (=some,severa1) 则用于可数名词。
[2] One and a half teaspoonfuls, please.请放一勺儿半。
在英语中,比1大的东西,即使比2小,也需用复数表示。
[3] It doesn"t matter.没关系。这是表示此意的几种常用说法之一。
[4] more than you have中 have后省略了 got。下文中的 less than you have和fewer than you have同此。more than表示“比……多”;less than表示“比……少”; fewer than表示“比……少”(用于可数名词)。I"ve got the most中 most后省略了chocolate。形容词的最高级之后的名词在意思清楚的时候可省略。下文中的 the least同此。 the fewest后省略了 mistakes。
[5] I"ve ever seen,我所见过的。
定语从句,分别修饰 the best,the worst。
[6] What a pity! 真遗憾。英语中,常用What a+可数名词,What+不可数名词的结构表示感叹。
