Re: [問題] small & little
Little:
usually expresses an emotional attitude you have about someone or something
such as whether you like or dislike someone or something.
We rented a cozy little cottage in the mountains.
Shawn's little laugh is getting on my nerves.
Small:
generally describes the size of something:
The jacket is too small for me.
He packed his things into a small bag.
以上資料來源:Usage note:little
Longman advanced American dictionary.
----------
如果照原po的意思,要形容老鼠
那麼Little是用於形容年紀小,
Ex: When I was a little girl.(當我還是小女孩的時候。)
She is my little sister.(她是我妹妹。)
在這句裡很明顯的Little=young.
Small是用於形容物體實際的大小。
Ex: He is a small boy.(他是個個頭很小的男孩。)
或是像我上面的例句寫的,衣服太小了。
所以要看你是要說老鼠是年紀小還是體積小,
不過我的自然反應會說this mouse is little.
我總覺得,形容生物用Small有貶義的意思,而little會顯得他可愛。
(嗯,我果然不是當老師的料。)
