1、中考词汇辨析1a bit/ a little 这两个词都意为“一点儿”有时可以互换，但有时不能。二者作程度副词修饰形容词、副词、动词或比较级时，意义相同，为“一点儿” “有些”。如： I am a bit / a little hungry. 我有点饿。 He walked a bit / a little slowly. 他走路有点慢。二者都可以作名词词组，充当主语或宾语。如： A little / bit is enough for me. 我有一点儿就够了。 I know only a little / a bit about her. 我对她的情况只了解一点。a little可直接修饰
2、名词；a bit后须加of才可以。如：. There is a little water in the bottle. = There is a bit of water in the bottle.注意 a little of 后的名词通常特指，表“中的一些”，如： May I have a little of your tea?. 否定形式 not a little 作状语，相当于very/ quite, “很”， “非常”；作定语和宾语时，相当于much, 意为 “许多”。而not a bit 作状语时，相当于not at all, 意为“一点也不”，作宾语时则相当于not much.
3、Eg: He is not a little (=very) hungry. 他饿极了。 He is not a bit (=not at all) hungry.他一点也不饿。 She ate not a little (=much). 她吃得很多。. Not a bit 中的not 可以分开使用；not a little中的not 则不能分开。Eg: He felt not a bit tired. = He didnt feel a bit tired. 他觉得一点也不累。 He felt not a little tired. 他觉得非常累。但不能说：He didnt fell a l
