在肯定句中,a little和a bit意思相同：This box is a bit heavier than the other one.This box is a little heavier than the other one.这两句的意思都是：这个箱子比那个箱子重一点.再比如说“价格会上涨一点.”我们可以说：The price would jump a bit.也可以说：The price would jump a little.“还有点工作要做.”可以说：There is still a bit more work to do.也可以说：There is still a little more work to do.not a bit和not a little 的意思正好相反.not a bit是“一点也不”的意思,和not at all意思相同；not a little的意思是“不是一点点”,和much意思相同：I’m not a bit tired.(I’m not tired at all.) 我一点也不累.I’m not a little tired.(I’m much tired.) 我很累了.（不是一点点累,是很累） a bit通常修饰表示“令人不快”的形容词,例如sad,silly,cold,hungry,angry,difficult,heavy,expensive等：The song is a bit sad.这首歌有点伤感.You might say I’m a bit silly.你可能会说我有点傻.a little则无论褒贬都可以修饰：Mary is a little older but a little more beautiful than Ann.玛丽比安年纪更大但是更漂亮.Everyone seemed a little nervous.每个人看起来都有点紧张.a bit后面不能直接接名词,接名词要用a bit of的结构；a little则可以直接修饰名词：This will add a little fun to the game.如果要用a bit来修饰fun,要用a bit of的结构：This will add a bit of fun to the game.这可以使这个游戏更有趣一点.当a little修饰的名词前有the,this,that,所有格等限定词时,也要用a little of的结构：This remind me a little of those old sayings.这使我想起了那些古老的谚语.a bit 和a little不能用来修饰“形容词+名词”的结构.例如,heavy boxes这样的结构,就不能用a bit和a little修饰,不能说a bit heavy boxes；再比如hot weather,我们不可 以说a little hot weather.a little bit的意思是“一点点”,用法与”a bit”相同：1.kind指品种,说“一种”事物常用a kind of 作定语.a kind of animal一种动物,a kind of car一种小车.animal和car前不再有冠词.说“各种各样”用various kinds of animal,various kinds of animals,animals of various kinds均可.kind侧重指“品质、性质”.如：She’s not the kind of woman to lie.她不是说谎的人.2．a kind of常可表示不确定的“某种类似”的意思.
