大家好，我是小曜，我来为大家解答以上问题。formerly翻译成中文，formerly很多人还不知道，现在让我们一起来看看吧！

1、fewer是few的比较级形式，意为“更少的”，后接可数名词复数形式。

例如：Fewer people study Latin today than formerly.现在学拉丁语的人比以前少了。

2、less是little的比较级形式，意为“更少”，后接不可数名词或修饰动词。

We have to make less garbage. 我们得产生更少的垃圾。

She says less but does more. 她说话较少，但做事较多。

3、含fewer的短语

no fewer than: 多达，不低于，不少于

During an interrogation, there must be no fewer than two investigators participating.讯问的时候，侦查人员不得少于二人。

fewer and fewer 越来越少

As autumn advances the days close in and the hours of light become fewer and fewer.随着秋天的推移，白昼越来越短，光照时间也越来越少。

4、含less的短语

less than 小于，不足

Your sister will be here in less than an hour.再有不到一个小时你姐姐就要到这儿了。

less and less 越来越少的；越来越少

This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.这就意味着野生动物的生存空间将会越来越小了。

After that, the boys were seen less and less and finally disappeared.从此以后，两个男孩子出现在人们面前的场合愈来愈少，最后终于失踪了。

no less than 不少于，多达…；原来就是；正是

I will take no less than ten dollars an hour.我一个小时领的钱不会少于十元。
