lesser漢語(yǔ)翻譯
lesser詞意辨析
less, lesser
這兩個(gè)詞都是little的比較級(jí),都可指“較少”或“較小”。less偏重于“not so much”的意思,lesser偏重于“not so great或smaller、minor、lower”的意思。它們都可用于數(shù)量、重量、程度、重要性、價(jià)值等方面,但在用法及跟其他詞語(yǔ)搭配上有很大不同,二者不能互換。less: 所修飾的名詞是不可數(shù)的,且沒(méi)有冠詞在前;less可帶than,并指二者或多于二者的比較;
- i received less pay than he.
我收的薪金比他少。 - i want less sugar for my coffee.
我的咖啡要加少些糖。 - these days,i eat less rice than i used to.
近來(lái)我吃飯比以前少。
lesser: 不用than,而用of,并只限于二者的比較;涉及程度、價(jià)值、重要性等方面時(shí),一般用lesser(指 smaller,not so great,minor,lower)。
- i prefer a lesser amount of meat.
我選擇較少量的肉食。 - rice and wheat are two staple foods in china.in the north,rice is the lesser of the two.
