几乎没有时间商量。
Few towns have such splendid trees.
有这么好看的树木的城市不多。
2、 little和few的这种用法主要限于书面英语（可能由于在日常会话中little和few容易被误认为是 a little／a few）。因此，在日常会话中little和few通常由hardly any（几乎没有）替代，也可以由动词否定式+much／many替代：
We saw little.
我们没有看到什么。
相当于：
We saw hardly anything./We didn’t see much.
我们几乎什么都没有看到。

3、 但如果little和few由so，very，too，extremely （adv. 非常，极其；极端地），comparatively （adv. 比较地；相当地），relatively （adv. 相当地；相对地，比较地）等词修饰，就可以较自由地使用。
fewer 较少的
