新职业英语1Unit 3 教案
II.不同之处
1).a little可以直接修饰不可数名词,而a bit修饰不可数名词时,只能用a bit of。例如:
Tom has a little money./Tom has a bit of money.汤姆有一点钱。
但是,当a little修饰的名词前有this,that,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 drink.我想喝点那种饮料。
2).a bit和a little与not连用时,意思大相径庭。not a bit=not at all,意为"一点也不";not a little=very much,意为"十分"、"相当"、"极其"。例如:
He is not a bit tired.他一点不累。
He is not a little tired.他很累。
3. Generally, this is not a time to talk about business, but rather a time to get to know the other person and enjoy each other’s company.
Not….bur rather……不是…….而是
