“极少的”常见英文表达有 very few、extremely few 或 a tiny number of 等,具体使用取决于语境:
very few:最常用,强调数量极少,接近没有,但仍有少量存在。例如:Very few people attended the meeting.(很少有人参加会议。)
extremely few:比“very few”语气更强,突出数量之少达到极端程度。例如:Extremely few students passed the difficult exam.(极少数学生通过了这次难考。)
a tiny number of:侧重数量微小到近乎可忽略不计,更形象地体现“极少”概念。例如:A tiny number of customers complained about the new product.(只有极少数顾客对新产品提出投诉。)
