区别:
1.a few 一般强调的数量要多于a couple of。
2.a few一般是多于3个左右,而a couple of一般强调的数量是2或者3。
如何区别这要根据具体的语言环境才能判断,比如a few minutes ago意思是几分钟之前,这里的几分钟至少是3分钟以上。
a few:
1.I made a few phone calls
我打了几个电话。
2.I have a few, but not many.
我有几个,可是不多。
3.I stayed there a few days longer.
我在那里多住了几天。
4.A few books have been lost from the library.
图书馆丢失了几本书。
5.We had a few drinks afterwards
后来我们喝了几杯。
一般没有a couples of的用法:
1.a couple of 少数几个
2.be coupled with 与结合
3.go in couples 成双成对
4.hunt in couples 协力
5.run in couples 协力
