inadequately英文

little的意思是“小的”。读音：英 [ˈlɪtl]；美 [ˈlɪtl]释义：little是一个英语单词，名词、形容词、副词，作名词时意思是“少许；没有多少；短时间”，作形容词时意思是“小的；很少的；短暂的；小巧可爱的”，作副词时意思是“完全不”。例句：1、He seems to have little, if anything, to do with this.若要说他和这事有什么相关的话，那也似乎是很少的。2、We all have our little failings.我们都有自己的小缺点。3、I like the country, but I have little opportunity to go there.朋友问你喜不喜欢加拿大。你说，喜欢这个国家，但很少有机会去。

little是一个英语单词，名词、形容词、副词，作名词时意思是“少许；没有多少；短时间”，作形容词时意思是“小的；很少的；短暂的；小巧可爱的”，作副词时意思是“完全不”。

little用作代词时有否定意味，接近于nothing。the little，a little或little of在句中用作定语时，谓语动词用单数形式。little可与the连用，用如名词。

little的比较级与最高级常用smaller, smallest，而较少用littler，littlest。

扩展资料：

little, small, tiny这组词的共同意思是“小”。其区别是：little和small在修饰物时，前者着重数量不多、少；后者侧重于程度和尺寸的大小。little和small用来修饰人时，前者侧重于因年龄小而使身形娇小，后者则侧重于指比一般人身材矮小,含有比较的意味。

另外，little还含有一种small所没有的感情色彩，往往含有“小得可爱”“小得可怜”等意思。tiny比little和small更强调小，含有“微不足道”的意思。

Lesson 19 English Social Differences 英国社会的差异

A gentleman is, rather than does. He is interested in nothing in a professional way. He is allowed to cultivate hobbies, even eccentricities, but must not practise a vocation. He must know how to ride and shoot and cast a fly. He should have relatives in the army and navy and at least one connection in the diplomatic service. But there are weaknesses in the English gentleman's ability to rule us today. He usually knows nothing of political economy and less about how foreign countries are governed. He does not respect learning and prefers 'sport '.The problem set for society is not the virtues of the type so much as its adequacy for its function, and here grave difficulties arise. He refuses to consider sufficiently the wants of the customer, who must buy, not the thing he desires but the thing the English gentleman wants to sell. He attends anadequately to technological development. Disbelieving in the necessity of large-scale production in the modern world, he is

passionately devoted to excessive secrecy, both in finance and method of production. He has an incurable and widespread nepotism in appointment, discounting ability and relying upon a mystic entity called 'character,' which means, in a gentleman's mouth, the qualities he traditionally possesses himself. His lack of imagination and the narrowness of his social loyal ties have ranged against him one of the fundamental estates of the realm. He is incapable of that imaginative realism

which admits that this is a new world to which he must adjust himself and his institutions, that every privilege he formely took as of right he can now attain only by offering proof that it is directly relevant to social welfare.
