重点讲解
一.compare:v.比较, 对比, 比喻 n.比较, 对照
【语法用法】
compare with与compare to的区别:
compare with 的意思是“把……跟……比较”,一般用于两个同类事物之间,着重区别。
compare to的意思是“把……比作……看待”,一般用于两个不同性质的事物比较。
She compares me with my sister.
她把我和我妹妹进行比较。
We may well compare the little girl to a kitten.
我们可能把这个小姑娘比作小猫来看待。
当compare用作不及物动词时,解释为“比的上”,“值得比较”,只能用with,不能用to;
否定形式可表示为not to be compared with/to;
compare together的表达中,together是多余的。
【错句举例与错句分析】
错句: He compared last year's profits to this year's.
订正: He compared last year's profits with this year's.
翻译: 他把去年的利润与今年的做了比较。
分析: 注意compare with与compare to的区别。
