She was not a little worried about Tom’s health. 两个词组在加了not后,意思好像大不相同,请问这是怎么回事?a bit和a little 在意思上非常相似,都表示“一点点,有点儿”之意.它们用作副词,表达“程度”时,修饰动词、形容词、副词、介词短语或比较级,意思相同,可以互换.例如：He is a bit like his father.He is a little like his father.他有点像他的父亲.The speaker spoke a bit louder in order to make himself heard more clearly.The speaker spoke a little louder in order to make himself heard more clearly.讲话人把嗓门提高了一点儿,以便让别人听得更清楚.但是,在下列情况下,它们是有区别的：1.当它们用作定语,表达“数量”时,a bit后要加of,a little 则不用.例如：She ate a bit of bread for lunch.She ate a little bread for lunch.她午饭就吃了一点点面包.2.但是,一旦否定,not a bit 和not a little的意思就大不一样了,甚至相反.not a bit 意思是“一点也不”,相当于not at all,not in the least之意.例如：He isnot a bitlike his father.他一点也不像他父亲.Are you hungry? --- No, not a bit. 你饿了吗? 不,一点也不饿.She is not a bit happy.她很不开心.not a little意思是“非常,很”,相当于very (much), a lot 之意.例如：He is not a little like his father.他很像他的父亲.I am not a little surprised at the news. 我对这个消息深感惊讶.The boy was not a little worried because he hadn’t heard from her parents for a long time. 那个男孩很担心,因为好久没收到父母的来信了.【注意】有时bit之前,还可以加little,进一步修饰程度之低,如：I'm a little bit tired. Let's take a short rest.我稍有点累了.让我们休息一会儿. 引用地址:
