[译] 冬天马路上的汽车比夏天少。
[误] Less cars are on the road in winter than in summer.
[正] Fewer cars are on the road in winter than in summer.
[注] fewer 与 less 的意思都是"较小的"或"较少的"。从理论上说,fewer 指 number,用来指复数名词。又如:Visitors to Singapore were fewer than expected last year. 去新加坡的游客比去年预期的少。/Fewer people study Latin today than fifty years ago. 今天学拉丁文的人比 50 年前要少。less 指 quantity 或 degree, 用来指不可数名词。例如:The average daily rainfall was less than expected. 平均每天的降雨量比预计的少。/If you want to lose weight you had better eat less bread. 如果你想减肥就得少吃面包。
