请注意外国人的回覆部份
I'm not keen on the negative/positive distinction, but let's move on.
1. There are few students in the classroom, aren't there?
2. There are only a few students in the classroom, aren't there?
Here's some of my own, using your adverbs. They all seem to be "negative",
except d. and f.
a. There's scarcely any water left, is there?
b. There's hardly anything to eat, is there?
c. Your seldom come to class, do you?
d. You often come to class, don't you?
e. There are hardly any students in the room, are there?
f. There's only a few drops of water left, isn't there?
It seems as if few/a few are "positive"
I can't tell you the rule because I just wrote these as I'd say them.

: 各位先进大家好
: 想请问一下 She has little homework every day and ___ do I.
: 本句应该使用neither 还是so呢?
: 因为本校英文老师们,甚至是英文老师以前的老师们,还有我在其他学校教英文的朋友们
: 都是教never, seldom, few 和little都有否定的意思,所以本句应该是neither
: 结果可怕的事出现了!这次月考题出了这们一题,结果有一位老师说好像逻辑怪怪的,(其
: 他人都觉得就是neither啊)所以问了某大出版社的外国编辑群们,给我们的答案是要用so
: 我们也问了成人补习班的外师,3个人都说是so,而在下刚好今天到语言所进修,问了班上
: 另外4名同学,3名台湾人和一位美国人,台湾人说neither,外国人想了一下说这句怪怪的
: 但不可能是neither,後来问了教授,台湾人,一开始老师也说little是否定,应该是
: neither吧,但我们讨论了一下,教授是说 She never/seldom does homework 因为否定
: 是在动词部分,所以是neither do I 没错,但是She has little homework动词部分没有
: 否定,而我们在写附和句或附加问句时都是看动词的,所以这句应该是so。这个区别法
: 班上美国人也同意。但我们其他4个台湾的研究生真的很惊讶,因为一直以来,我们的
: 老师们是这样教的,虽然我翻了好几本字典没这样的句子,但每本参考书也都是这样写的
: ,而我们也把这样的观念教我们的学生!
: 不知各位先进没有有其他看法?请不吝指教。谢谢

一个人如果宣称,对上帝必须理解清楚才能相信,那他将永远无法有真正的信心。
信仰有些地方,不是知道,而是内心深处对上帝的体会。
