not a bit與not a little同義嗎？有什么區(qū)別

請(qǐng)看下面兩個(gè)句子，not a bit與not a little同義嗎？

a. After such a long walk in such hot weather he was not __________ tired.

b. We are not __________ tired. Of course we can go on with the work.

A. a bit, a little B. a little, a bit C. a bit, a bit D. a little, a little

此題應(yīng)選B。關(guān)于這個(gè)問(wèn)題考生要注意兩點(diǎn)。如：

1. 在肯定句中，a bit 和 a little 有時(shí)可換用。如：

He is a bit [=a little] tired. 他有點(diǎn)累了。

It is a bit [=a little] hot. 有點(diǎn)熱。

2. 但是在否定句中，兩者的意思幾乎相反。如：

not a bit 表示“一點(diǎn)也不”(=not at all)

not a little 表示“很”、“非常”(=very)

(1) a. The book is not a bit interesting. 這本書(shū)一 點(diǎn)也沒(méi)有趣。

b. The book is not a little interesting. 這本書(shū) 很有趣。

(2) a. This kind of car is not a bit expensive. 這 種汽車一點(diǎn)也不貴。

b. This kind of car is not a little expensive. 這種汽車很貴。

(3) a. He was not a bit surprised when he heard the news. 他聽(tīng)到這個(gè)消息時(shí)，一點(diǎn)也不驚奇。

b. He was not a little surprised when he heard the news. 他聽(tīng)到這個(gè)消息時(shí)，十分驚奇。
