词语用法

2. a bit，a little和a little bit三者意思相同，解释为“一些（地）”；
3. not a bit，not a little bit和not a little不全表示相同意思。前两者表示“一点也不”的意思，但not a little却是“很……”的意思。且值得注意的是，前两者中的not与后面的a bit和a little bit可分开，但是not a little不可分开。

   He did not feel a bit sorry.
   他一点也不觉得抱歉。

   He felt a little sorry.
   他觉得很抱歉。

n. (名词)

1. bit的基本意思是“小块,少量”,指整体中的一小部分,也可指独立的一小部分。bit还可指“与集体、人或活动有关的一系列行动、态度”。
2. bit在计算机技术中意为“比特，位”,指最小的二进制单位。
3. a bit和a bit of都是名词短语,在句中作程度状语,意思是“有点儿,少许”。a bit可修饰形容词或副词的原级或比较级,还可修饰全句。a bit of则在句中用作定语,修饰不可数名词时意为“一点点”；修饰单数可数名词时意为“有点像”。为了强调,还可以说a little bit, a least bit等。
4. not a bit可用作程度副词,表示接近于零程度,以加强否定意义,作“一点也没〔不〕”解,多修饰形容词,也可修饰动词。
5. bit的复数形式bits可表示“剩余物,残渣”“小片”。
6. 在非正式美语中bit还可表示“一会儿”,其前通常加不定冠词a。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

bit, piece

• 这两个词都有“碎片”的意思。其区别在于:bit强调片或块的“小”,即“小碎片”; 而piece指碎片时则可大可小。例如:
• The glass broke into bits.
• 玻璃杯打得粉碎。
• The glass broke into pieces.
• 玻璃杯打碎了。

bit，piece，sheet，slice，fragment，scrap

• 这些名词均含有“片、块、段”之意。
• bit侧重指微小，一点点，小碎片。
• piece最普通用词，多指从整体上分割下来的东西，可大可小。
• sheet侧重指平整很薄的一张或一片。
• slice多指切得很薄的一片食物。
• fragment指破裂的，不完整的碎片。
• scrap侧重指废弃的零碎之物。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 我有点累,我想回家了。

   误 I'm a bit of tired.I think I'll go home.

   正 I'm a bit tired.I think I'll go home.

2. 请给我一点纸。

   误 Please give me a bit paper.

   正 Please give me a bit of paper.

   析 a bit修饰形容词、副词时充当程度副词,其后不可接介词of,但修饰名词时须接of。

3. 我非常饿。

   误 I'm not a bit hungry.

   正 I'm not a little hungry.

   析 not a bit的意思是“一点儿没有”,相当于not at all; 而not a little的意思恰恰与其相反,表示“非常”“不可”。
