We saw [few] people in the street,as it was late at night. But quite [a few] policemen were still working there.

这是一道填空题,[ ]是要填空的意思,上面已经填了答案,想知道为啥要这样做?给我翻译一下句子,和说明语法,谢谢~
谢谢各位的回答!不知道选哪个做最佳答案好,只好转作【投票】决定了....转作投票又最多只能选3个答案,所以就选前3L了~

few表示否定的意思,指人很少
根据语义是说:很晚了,街上人很少。
a few 表示肯定,指还有一些人
语义:还是有一些警察在工作
另外给你2个例子
eg:Please be hurry!There is little time left.(快点,时间不多了)
Don't worry,there is a little time left.(别急,还有点时间呢)

由as it was late at night可知天很晚,行人很少所以用few,a few有一些
句意:天很晚了,没几个人,但有一些警察仍然在工作

few

1. 很少的,不多的,少数的
There were few people in the streets.
街上人很少。
He has a few friends in this city.

adj.
1. 少数的, 不多的
2. [表示否定, 有比较级和最高级]很少, 几乎没有
Such instances are few.
这样的事不多。
try to make fewer mistakes
尽量少出错
a man of few words
沉默寡言的人
int.

pron.[K]
1. 很少数;几乎没有

我们在街上没有看见任何人,因为已经很晚了.但是有不少警察任然还在工作.

首先,few是a few 的否定,后面跟可数名词
