‘Well,doctor, what's the news? How is she?’
‘The young mother is quite comfortable, madam,’ replied the doctor politely.
‘But she, the baby, how is she?’ cried Miss Betsey.
The doctor looked strangely at Miss Betsey.‘It's a boy,madam,’ he replied.
Miss Betsey said nothing,but walked straight out of the house, and never came back.

Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget
What thou amongst the leaves hast never known,
The weariness, the fever, and the fret
Here, where men sit and hear each other groan;
远远地、远远隐没,让我忘掉
你在树叶间从不知道的一切,
忘记这疲劳、热病、和焦躁,
这使人对坐而悲叹的世界;

✍ 你知道not a little的意思吗?
读外刊时遇到了这个词组,看到的第一反应是否定义,但结合上下文语境,发现应该是肯定义。查询词典后收获颇丰,分享给大家。
作形容词
用作【定语】时,其义为「很多的、可观的」,相当于常见的「quite a little」,后接不可数名词。(可将其视为much)
E.g. He saved not/quite a little pile of money.
他存了一大笔钱。
如果要接可数名词的话,可以用「not a few」或「quite a few」(可将其视为many)
E.g. Not a few students have gone home.
许多学生已经回家了。
作副词
用作【状语】时,其意为「相当地、十分地」,相当于「very/quite/rather/fairly」
E.g. He was not a little perplexed.
他深感困惑。
需要注意它与「not a bit」的区别。「not a bit」相当于「not at all」如果将上面句子改为He was not a bit perplexed,则句子意思完全相反,变成了他一点也不困惑。
