adj.|less;較少的
“fewer”是英語中表示“更少”的形容詞,是“few”的比較級形式,專門用于修飾可數名詞的複數形式。其核心語義強調數量上的減少,且通常與可數實體相關聯。例如:“There are fewer students in the classroom this year”(今年教室裡的學生更少了)。
從語法規則角度,該詞遵循“fewer + 複數可數名詞”結構,與“less”形成明确區分(後者修飾不可數名詞)。權威語法指南《牛津英語用法指南》明确指出,在正式書面語中應嚴格區分兩者用法,如“fewer opportunities”而非“less opportunities”。
常見錯誤用法包括在超市收銀台标識誤用“10 items or less”,實際規範表達應為“10 items or fewer”。語言學家David Crystal在《劍橋英語語法》中強調,這種區分反映了英語語法體系的核心邏輯。

Fewer 是英語中表示“數量減少”的核心詞彙,專用于可數名詞複數(如人、書、車輛)。其語法規則嚴謹,需與 less(修飾不可數名詞)嚴格區分。在正式寫作中,遵循“可數用 fewer,不可數用 less”的原則能避免常見錯誤。通過例句和搭配練習,可熟練掌握其用法。
