为什么E不对呢?我个人还觉得redundant呢作者: findjuhl 时间: 2013-4-11 21:22
1、little用法 【just for ur reference~~】 Little can be used in the following ways:
as a determiner (followed by a noun): There's little time left. ? Little progress has been made.
as a pronoun: They have very little, but what they have, they share. (after 'a'): Yes, I'd like some tea – but just a little. (followed by 'of'): Little of the original building has survived. ? Can I take a little of this sugar? (after 'the'): The little I know won't be of much use to you.
as an adverb: I go there very little. ? I'm little affected by the cold. (after 'a'): He talked a little about his childhood.
2、根據上面的解釋,little of的用法是正確的,但是【little of + noun】這個整體表示的應該是不可數的概念。E項differences是一個複數名詞,如果要用也應該是該為few of significant differences. 還有,there is要改成there are,因為differences是plural。
