not a bit 是“一点也不”，等于 not at all；not a little/ few 的意思是“不是一点点”，和 very much；extremely 意思相 同： Im not a bit tired. (Im not tired at all.) 我一点也不累 Im not a little tired. (Im much tired.) 我很累了不是一点点累，是很累） 2）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;a little 则无论褒贬都可以修饰： The song is a bit sad. 这首歌有点伤感 You might say Im a bit silly. 你可能会说我有点傻 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。
3）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：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 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 This remind me a little of those old sayings. 这使我想起了那些古老的谚语 4）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： This is a little bit too difficult for me. 这对我来说有点难。
