[ˈlesə(r)]
  • 释义
  • 较小的;较少的;次要的;

  • 词义辨析
  • less,lesser
  • 这两个词都是little的比较级,都可指“较少”或“较小”。less偏重于“not so much”的意思,lesser偏重于“not so great或smaller、minor、lower”的意思。它们都可用于数量、重量、程度、重要性、价值等方面,但在用法及跟其他词语搭配上有很大不同,二者不能互换。
    less所修饰的名词是不可数的,且没有冠词在前;less可带than,并指二者或多于二者的比较;
    lesser不用than,而用of,并只限于二者的比较;涉及程度、价值、重要性等方面时,一般用lesser(指 smaller,not so great,minor,lower)。
