little修饰比较的用法
表否定意义的little可以用于修饰比较级，但其用法比较有限，通常只用于better或more前。如：
His second suggestion was little better than his first. 他的第二个建议比第一个好不了多少。
Aid to the Third World is at present little more than a drop in the ocean. 目前对第三世界的援助不过是杯水车薪。
不过，表肯定意义的a little修饰比较级的用法比较普通。如：
The paper should be a little thicker. 这纸应该再厚一点儿。
Can you stay a little longer? 你能再呆会儿吗?
