詞語(yǔ)辨析之little與small
詞語(yǔ)是詞和短語(yǔ)的合稱,包括詞(含單詞、合成詞)和詞組(又稱短語(yǔ)),組成語(yǔ)句文章的最小組詞結(jié)構(gòu)形式單元。下面是小編整理的詞語(yǔ)辨析之little與small,歡迎閱覽。
little,small
這一對(duì)形容詞是同義詞,但修辭意味有所不同。
Little 往往帶有感情色彩,有指小和可愛(ài)的意味,它的對(duì)義詞是great或big。
small是中性詞,不帶感情色彩,它的反義詞是large。通過(guò)下列詞語(yǔ)的比較,我們可以分辨它們的隱含意義:
a little house 含義是小巧玲瓏的房子
a small house 含義是面積或容量不大的`房子
a little girl 含義是可愛(ài)的或可憐的小女孩
a small girl 含義是年齡或身材不大的女孩
a little town 含義是可愛(ài)的小鎮(zhèn)
a small town 含義是面積不大或人口不多的小鎮(zhèn)
值得注意的是,little和small在修飾某些名詞時(shí),會(huì)產(chǎn)生不同的意思。例如:
little money 是沒(méi)有多少錢(qián)
small money 是面額小的錢(qián)幣
下面兩個(gè)句子的涵義并不相同,請(qǐng)注意:
He has no small chance of success.
他大有成功的可能。
He has not the smallest chance of success.
他并沒(méi)有成功的可能。
一百多年前,有些英美作家用littler,littlest作為little的比較級(jí)和最高級(jí),如 the littlest child;the littler house。這種英語(yǔ)在現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)中已看不到了。
