问：棉花糖，你好！能帮忙解答一下下面这道题吗？非常感谢！
Never have I seen ___ little fish. There are ___ little fish that I don’t know how to give them to all people.
A. such； so B. so； such C. such； such D. so； so
答：本题关键是要知道such和so的用法区别，以及little的不同含义和用法。
首先，such和so的意思都是“如此，这样”。但such后面主要修饰名词，比如such beautiful girl，such fine day；so后面主要跟形容词或副词，虽然它也可以跟名词，但该名词必须是单数可数名词。比如She is so lovely a girl.
其次来看little的含义和用法。Little用作形容词时，既可表示“（体积）小的”，用于修饰可数名词单数或复数，比如a little bird、little birds；也可表示“（数量）少的”，只用于修饰不可数名词，比如little money。
第一个句子中的little是形容词，意为“小的”，修饰名词fish，fish在此意为“鱼”，是一个复数名词。根据前面提到的such和so的用法，此时横线上应该填such，“such little fish”意为“这么小的鱼”，句意是“我从来没有见过这么小的鱼”。
第二个句子本身有问题。此句中的fish只有两种可能：复数名词fish （鱼）或者不可数名词fish（鱼肉）。不论是哪种情况，fish在此句中只可能是因为“数量少”而“让我不知道如何分给所有人”。那么横线处所填的词应为so，修饰表数量少的little。不过若fish是复数名词，形容其数量少只能用few而不能用little；若fish是不可数名词，形容其数量少倒是可以用little，但其对应的代词应是it而不是句中的them。所以这句话是有问题的，正确的表达应为：There are so few fish（鱼）that I don’t know how to give them to all people./There is so little fish（鱼肉）that I don’t know how to give it to all people.
As sly as a fox，as strong as an ox
As fast as a hare，as brave as a bear
As free as a bird，as neat as a word
As quiet as a mouse，as big as a house
All I wanna be，all I wanna be
Oh all I wanna be
Is everything
As mean as a wolf，as sharp as a tooth
As deep as a bite，as dark as the night
As sweet as a song，as right as a wrong
As long as a road，as ugly as a toad
As pretty as a picture hanging from a fixture
Strong like a family，strong as I wanna be
Bright as day，as light as play
As hard as nails，as grand as a whale
All I wanna be
Oh all I wanna be，oh all I wanna be
Is everything
Everything at once
Everything at once
Oh oh everything at once
As warm as the sun，as silly as fun
As cool as a tree，as scary as the sea
As hot as fire，cold as ice
Sweet as sugar and everything nice
As old as time，as straight as a line
As royal as a queen，as buzzed as a bee
Stealth as a tiger，smooth as a glide
Pure as a melody，pure as I wanna be
“Everything at Once”是澳大利亚歌手Lenka的第二张专辑“Two”中的歌曲，因其灵动活泼的旋律与Windows 8电脑操作系统敏捷多变的功能相契合而被选为Windows 8广告歌曲，从而为大众所知和喜爱。
听歌时，大家首先会注意到，整首歌反复使用了“as... as ...”结构。这一结构看似简单，但却是一个重要的英语句型。该结构的基本用法有两种，第一种是在两个as中间加入一个形容词，表达一种正面衬托的概念，意为“像……一样……”，例如：He is as clever as that girl. （他像那个女孩一样聪明。） 第二种是在两个as中间加入一个副词，表示“尽可能……”，例如：He went there as quickly as he could. （他尽可能快地赶到了那里。）
其次，这首歌的歌词中使用的形容词非常地道，俨然就是一个英语常用形容词使用指南！很值得我们学习。例如，“As mean as a wolf， as sharp as a tooth/As deep as a bite，as dark as the night”这两句歌词就告诉大家，形容狼卑鄙应该用mean，形容牙齿锋利用sharp最合适，形容咬痕很深用deep最恰当，形容夜色很深用dark最地道。
接下来再看看这句话：All I wanna be is everything at once. 喜欢看英语影视作品的同学常会看到wanna这个词，与它相似的还有gonna，其实这两个词就相当于我们平常说的want to和going to。这两个词在非正式场合的口语中很常用，可以使口语显得更加地道和流畅。但要注意，这两个词千万不要用在写作中，因为在书面表达中最忌使用口头语和过于口语化的表达。
最后一起看看这首歌所表达的含义。这首歌的精髓在于副歌“All I wanna be is everything at once”。歌手Lenka在主歌中提到了那么多个“as ... as ...”，又在副歌中唱道：All I wanna be is everything at once，很明显，整首歌就是想要表达一种像万物一般自在随意的感觉。
