large與big
(1)large僅指物理量值的大，是small的反義詞。
large主要指體積、面積、形狀、數(shù)量方面的大，修飾人時指個子大。如：
China is a large country.
中國是一個幅員遼闊的國家。
Look at that large woman in white.
瞧那個身穿白色衣服、個子高大的女人。
(2)big所表示的大，主要指不僅體積大而且很重。所以a large box未必big。big在修飾人時，主要指大人物，但個子未必高大。如：
It is a big house.
這是一所大房子。(此句指不僅體積大，而且給人深刻的或結(jié)實的印象。)
She's very big in the filmdom.
她在電影界中是個響當(dāng)當(dāng)?shù)娜宋铩?此句指不僅成功，且具有很大的影響力。)
small與little
(1)small指物理量值的小或少，是large的反義詞，不帶什么感情色彩。如：
It is a small factory.
這是一個小新概念。
I want the small one with the yellow handle.
我想要帶新概念把手的那個小的。
(2)little也表示小或少，但有小而可愛的感情色彩，是big的反義詞。如：

我們的屋后有個小花園。(此句表示花園雖小，但很可愛。)
