[析]
1. few 与 little 作形容词用,都表示“几乎没有”,相当于一个否定词。具体区别:
(1) few 后面跟复数可数名词。 e.g. few books few students
(2) little 后面跟单数不可数名词。 e.g. little water little food
e.g. He has few friends. 他没有几个朋友。
They has little money. 他们没有什麽钱
2. a few 与 a little 都表示肯定的意思,指“有一点,有一些”。具体区别:
(1) a few 后加可数名词复数
(2)a little 后加不可数名词单数。
e.g. I'm going to buy a few bananas.
I can speak only a little Chinese.
3. a little 与 little 也可以用作副词, 表示“有点”“稍稍” 表示“很少”
e.g. ----Can you speak English?
----Yes, but only a little.
This book is a little more difficult than that one.
( 可修饰形容词比较级)
She slept little last night. 昨天晚上,她没有怎么睡觉。
·very与much
very与much表示“很”,“非常”。
不能用very来作修饰词,只能用much来作修饰词
very用于修饰形容词或副词的原级;
much用于修饰形容词或副词的比较级,修饰动词要用much或very much.
She said she was much better than before. 她说她比过去好多了。
I like English very much. 我非常喜欢英语。
·so与such
so与such表示“如此”,“这么”,“那么”
1) so修饰形容词或副词,such修饰名词,但名词前可以有形容词定语。
I can’t be here so early. 我不能这么早到这儿。
I’ve never seen such fine drawings. 我从未见过如此精美的图画。
2) so修饰的形容词后可以有一个单数可数名词,
其结构是so + adj. + a/an + n.试比较:
She is so good a girl.
She is such a good girl
3) 如果可数名词复数前有many, few或不可数名词前有much, little等表示数量多少的形容词时,用so而不用such。
I’m afraid that he’ll forget it if he misses so many lessons. 我担心的是,如果他耽误这么多的课程他会忘掉的。
Miss Zhao got so little money a month. 赵老师每月只领这么少的钱。
4) “so +助动词+主语”表示前面的陈述也适用于后者,意为“……也一样”。
—People in England eat a lot of potatoes.
—So do we.
· too, also与either
too, also与either表示“也(不)”
We also have eleven players in a team.
注意,too有时也用于否定疑问句中,但表示肯定语气。

ago与before, 表示“在……以前”
ago表示以现在为起点的“以前”,before指在过去或将来的某时刻“以前”或泛指“以前”。

next to有一个次序的含义在内,并且是单线型的
near只是表示附近,不远,范围可大,可小,并且是辐射型的
e.g. :she lives next to my door.她住在我隔壁。(房间有次序的朝一个方向挨着)
She lives near my house.她住在我家附近。(可能是我的邻居,可能不是,因为范围稍大一些)
·street . road. avenue
road ,street 与avenue都有路的意思,但是它们各自的含义和范围有所不同,

路,这种路两旁有无房屋皆可。
2 Avenue通道,大街,林荫路 在英国指通往乡村住宅,两旁栽树的小路。
在美国主要指宽阔而繁华的林荫大街,两旁有着华丽的住宅或林立的建筑物。在加拿大,street多是在老城区,road和avenue多是在后来扩展的地区,比如Toronto downtown以外地区,road是南北向,avenue是东西向。
· pretty 、 beautiful 与good-looking
handsome也是要和它们相区别开的
beautiful意为“美丽的,漂亮的”(giving pleasure or delight to the mind or sense),指给人以极大的愉快,几乎达到理想的美,指人时仅用于女性和小孩;
pretty“漂亮的,可爱的”(esp.of a woman, a child, on a small fine thing, pleasing or nice to look at, listen to, etc),多指女性,小孩 或小而漂亮的东西,并不表示完美无缺的意思,而着重表示“可爱”;
handsome“漂亮的, 英俊的”((esp. of man) good-looking, of attractive appearance, (esp. of woman) attractive with a firm, large appearance rather than a delicate one),形容男性指“容貌端庄、英俊”,形容女性时指“健美”;
good-looking“好看的,漂亮的”(attractive),泛指容貌美,多指男性,有时也指女性。
·other
other表示泛指,意为“另外的、别的、其它的”。常与复数名词或不可数名词连用。如果其前有the,this,some,any,each,every,no,one以及形容词性物主代词时,其后就可接单数名词。
注意下面other的几种变形:
others:它是other的复数形式,表示泛指,意为“别的人或物”,但不指全部。如:
Many students are playing on the playground. Some are playing football;others are playing basketball.
the other:表示两者中的另外一个。可单独使用,也可后接单数名词。如: The old man has two sons. One is a worker,the other is a teacher. 但如果the other后接复数名词或者the other本身用复数形式 (the others),都可表示其余的全部。如:
We shall do some cleaning this afternoon. Group One will clean the wall. Group Two will clean the windows.
The other students will sweep the floor.
·不可数名词作复数表种类时,谓语动词用法
不可数名词既然用来表示种类,实际上已经变成可数名词了,谓语当然用复数了。
These fishes are the ones that I have never seen.这些鱼种我从未见过。
·during the day 和 in the day
during the day [morning, evening](在)白天 [早上, 晚上]
The sun gives us light during the day.太阳在白天给我们阳光。

as与when,while都是引导时间状语从句的从属连词,含义都是"当……的时候"。但它们有区别:用when时,从句的动作可以与主句的动作同时发生,也可以先于主句的动作发生;用while时,从句的动作为一过程,主句动作与从句动作同时进行或在从句动作过程中发生;用as时,主句和从句的动作同时发生,具有延续的含义。例如:
(1)It was snowing when he arrived at the construction site.他到达工地时,天正在下雪。
(2)He was watching TV while his mother was cooking.他母亲做饭时他在看电视。
(3) You will grow wiser as you grow older.你会随着年龄的增长而越来越聪明。
3. as用作连词引导原因状语从句
as,because,since都可以表示因果关系,连接原因状语从句,含义是"因为,由于",但它们有区别:because表示的语气最强;as一般放在句首,语气较弱,较口语化;since常常用在书面语中,表示多为对方已知的、或稍加分析便可得知的原因,有时可译作"既然"。例如:
(1) He will succeed because he is in earnest.他一定会成功,因为他很认真。
(2) Since you are so sure of it he”ll believe you.既然你对此如此有把握,他会相信你的。

as与although (或though),however (或no matter how)等都可以引导让步状语从句,含义是"虽然,尽管",但它们有区别:although语气稍正式些,可放在句首,也可放在句中,主句中不能再用but,但可以用yet;as所表示的语气较强,引导的让步状语从句用倒装语序;however引导让步状语从句时,它的后面可跟形容词或副词,也要用倒装语序。例如:
(1) Although he is quite old, he still jogs every day.他虽然年纪相当大,仍然每天慢跑。
(2) Strange as it may seem, nobody was injured in the accident.这次意外虽然显得令人不可思议,却没有人受伤。
(3) However hard he may try, he will not attain his goal.无论他怎样努力也达不到目标。
as作关系代词的用法
关系代词as引导定语从句时,既可以单独使用,也可以与其他词连用,其用法要比that和which更为复杂。
1. as引导定语从句与其他词连用
①用于the same...as结构中
This is the same book as I read last week.这本书和我上周读的那本是一样的。
②用于such...as结构中

③用于"so +adj. + a/an + n. (单数) + as "结构中
I am not so strong a man as I was.我已经没有从前那么强壮了。
2. as单独引导定语从句
as单独引导定语从句时,先行词可以是一个词,也可以是一个句子或短语。例如:
(1) She is late, as is often the case.她迟到了,这是经常的事。(先行词是整个主句)
(2) To shut your eyes to facts, as many of you do, is foolish.对事实视而不见--你们好多人都是如此的愚蠢。(先行词是不定式短语)
as作介词的用法
as作介词,意思是"作为","以……身份"。例如:
He came to China as a tourist five years ago.他五年前以游客的身份来过中国。
as作副词的用法
to the same degree or amount; equally "相同地","同样地"。例如:They don”t have as many airplanes.他们没有同样多的飞机。
