lesser音标['les?] 汉语翻译a. 较少的, 较小的, 次要的 词意辨析: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;- i received less pay than he.
我收的薪金比他少。 - i want less sugar for my coffee.
我的咖啡要加少些糖。 - these days,i eat less rice than i used to.

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)。- i prefer a lesser amount of meat.
我选择较少量的肉食。 - rice and wheat are two staple foods in china.in the north,rice is the lesser of the two.
