《足球尤物》10:陰謀
-It just isn’t fair, Malvolio. I wait three years for Olivia, and then some transfer student comes in and suddenly she’s acting like some...obsessed, love-struck teenager. I’m not gonna take that lying down, Malvolio!
-Yeah, I know. I know. You’re absolutely right. I’ll do some digging, I’ll find out what it is, and I’ll nip his chances with Olivia right in the bud.
-Miss me? - What’s going on?
-What’s wrong with your voice? I just have a little bit of a cold. So... I’m still a little phlegmy.
-It’s all taken care of. Just make sure you’re back by the 12th. It was so cool, Vi. We went on a couple days early, and the crowd flipped for us. They wanted an encore, so we did one of my songs acoustically. They went nuts for my lyrics. And you were right about Monique. She’s history.
a little bit of
一點點
How is it that you can't stand a little bit of criticism?
你怎么這樣禁不住批評。
a bit的用法:
相同點:
1.a bit與a little都可作程度副詞,表示"稍微、一點兒"的意思,修飾動詞、形容詞、比較級等,二者可以互換。例如:
?Will you please turn down the radio a bit/a little?(動詞)請你把收音機聲音關小一點好嗎?
?She's a bit/a little afraid of the teacher.(形容詞)她有點怕老師。
a bit和for a little意思相同,相當于for a while或for a short time,可互換。例如:
Let's rest for a bit/a little.讓我們休息一下。
不同之處:
1.a little可以直接修飾不可數(shù)名詞,而a bit修飾不可數(shù)名詞時,只能用a bit of。例如:
Tom has a little money./Tom has a bit of money.湯姆有一點錢。
但是,當a little修飾的名詞前有this,that,所有格等限定詞時,也要用a little of結構。例如:
I want to drink a little of that drink.我想喝點那種飲料。
2.a bit和a little與not連用時,意思大相徑庭。not a bit=not at all,意為"一點也不";not a little=very much,意為"十分"、"相當"、"極其"。
-Trouble with your wig, Hastings? No, I actually... I have a scalp condition. No, you don’t. I really do. It’s really acting up during the...
-You’ve got male pattern baldness.
-Scoot over, kiddo. I don’t know if you’ve realized, but recently I’ve started to thin out myself. I’ve tried all the creams and the butters, and I still can’t seem to stop Mother Nature’s vindictive fury, and neither can you. There’s gonna be a time when you’ll have to come out of the closet and just accept yourself for who you are. A baldy. OK?
-But it’s gonna be all right. OK? Oh, and between you and me, chicks dig it.
thin out
