总结:little, lessless is more大道至简用不可数名词,或者当作副词的时候;few, fewer用可数名词。
注意理解这两个的汉语意思。
我们比较熟悉的是:
你比我干净。你不比我开心。这个比那个贵。这个不比那个贵。
you are cleaner than I am.
you are not happier than me.
this one is more expensive than that one.
this one is not more expensive than the other one.
this one is less expensive than the other one.
这个没有那个贵(也就是这个比那个便宜this one is cheaper than that one.)。怎么说?
你没有我干净。怎么说?
你比我还不干净。怎么说?
你当然可以换成:这个比那个便宜。我比你干净。但是,在英语里面其实有这种说法。
就是往下比较:less, least
few, fewer 只是作为一个形容词,比较级fewer/fewest
little,less,least就是往下比较的时候用的。特别是单音节或者双音节的形容词的时候。
I am less lazy than I was before. 我没有以前懒惰。
the room is less clean now. 没有以前干净了。。
总结下来就是:many的比较级,more,most。much的比较级也是more,most。

few的比较级fewer,fewest;little的比较级less,least。只是在具体的汉语翻译中,自己琢磨。而这些此烟花出来的每哟,或者很小比较意味儿的意思似乎更加常用。
因为little, fewmuch, many是反义词,所以导致汉语理解上的偏差混淆。
比较特殊的就是:little+adjective,不是little +不可数名词。
这时候,就用到副词little和less
a little lazy, less lazy, 等等。
这里主要解答单音节双音节的时候,前面有一个less+形容词 表示否定“更加不”,而不是简单的not+形容词比较级。也就是解决了往下比较的问题。
高, 更高,干净,更干净;贵,更加贵。有没有,干净,更不干净;高,更不高?贵,更不贵?
其实有:less+adj原级。less+expensive【例句】Less happy; less expensive. 不那么高兴的;不怎么贵的less
interesting; less expensive; less quickly. 不是很有趣;不是很贵;不是很快。也许是人性发展观念使然。――比较都是这样比。贵的比较级,更贵。有人说是“不那么贵”,其实也是比
较,但是就不是被人默认的。所以说,英语里面叫做“positive comparison积极比较”。When used in making comparisons, the positive form of an adjective is usually employed
. The use of Less
Adjectives which form the comparative with the adverb more may also be used in a similar way with the adverb less. Less and more have opposite meanings.

i. The construction Less ... Than
The following examples illustrate the use of adjectives preceded by less and followed by than.
e.g. Arnold is less confident than Charles is.
      The red bicycle is less expensive than the blue one.
The first example indicates that Arnold possesses a smaller degree of confidence than Charles does. The second example indicates that the red bicycle has a lower cost than the blue one.

See Exercise 5.

The following examples illustrate the use of adjectives preceded by less, and followed by a noun, followed by than.
e.g. He is a less well-known performer than his brother is.
      They found themselves in a less fortunate situation than they had expected.
In these examples, the adjectives
well-known and fortunate are followed by the nouns performer and situation.
'The least' is the superlative form of 'little' used with uncountable nouns, and 'the fewest' is the superlative form of 'few' used with countable nouns.
Example Sentences
Tom does the least work of anybody in this room.
Jane has made the fewest mistakes on the exams.
Less is used with uncountable nouns, like money or work or travel, and fewer is used with countable plural nouns, like coins or jobs or trips. Less is the comparative form of little and fewer is the comparative form of few. Compare the following:
I have less work now than I had this time last year.
There are simply fewer jobs around that I am suitable for.

I therefore have little money and few friends.
Another, more common, way of saying less is not as much and another, more common, way of saying fewer is not as many. Similarly little would translate as not much and few would translate as not many. Compare the following.
My new car doesn't use as much petrol as my old one so it's more economical.
My new car uses less petrol than my old one so it's more economical.
You don't see as many Peugeot 405s on the road now as you used to.
You see fewer Peugeot 405s on the road now than you used to.
I don't have much need to use my car in town when public transport is so good.
I have to admit that there are few occasions when I walk anywhere nowadays.
Note that all of these uses have negative implications. If we want to be positive about something, we would use a little or a little bit of or a few. Compare the following
I can't go out in such weather, but I have a little bit of food in the house so I shall be OK.
I can't go out in such weather and I have little food in the house so I'm quite worried.
A few of my colleagues turned up for my presentation, so I was quite pleased.
