fewer的意思_音标_例句

fewer 的音标为英式 /ˈfjuːə(r)/ 、美式 /ˈfjuːər/,是形容词 few 的比较级形式,意为“较少的”,通常用于修饰可数名词复数,表示数量上的减少。它既可以作形容词直接修饰名词,也可作代词指代“更少的人或物”,需注意与修饰不可数名词的 less 区分开。

用法解析

修饰可数名词复数
强调数量减少,常见结构为“fewer + 可数名词复数”。例如:

我们需要更少的组织者,更多的实干者。(We need fewer organizers and more doers.)

焊接电路板需要较少的工人。(Fewer workers are needed to solder circuit boards.)

固定搭配

no fewer than:表示“不少于;多达”,用于强调数量之多。
例:那位侦探发现了不少于35个指纹。(The detective discovered no fewer than 35 fingerprints.)

fewer and fewer:表示“越来越少”,用于描述数量逐渐减少的趋势。
例:就业人数越来越少。(Fewer and fewer people are in work.)

与 less 的区别

fewer 修饰可数名词,如 fewer cars(更少的汽车);

less 修饰不可数名词,如 less time(更少的时间)。
但在非正式口语中,有时会用 less 修饰可数名词,如 "There were less cars",不过标准语法仍建议用 fewer。
