我一直以为,compare to 是把A比作B, 不同事物的类比; compare with是把A和B做比较,是同一类事武的比较。 我记得LZM语法上曾经有一个例子,说是把Federal reserve 比作是在tunnel 里面的汽车bouncing back... (不知道有没有人记得),里面用的是compare to, 。。。 今天看了prep SC 答案,那个300多业的pdf file, 里面有一题: prep 1-132 A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO's now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.
(A) that CEO's now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times (B) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times (C) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio (D) CEO's who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio (E) CEO's now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times 这里为什么用的是compare to? 几位高人的解释是:比较-compare/contrast 的用法,(as) compared to/with(GMAT 没有区分to 和with 的区别),省略了主语和系动词,即A be compared with/to B,与in contrast to 都是惯用法,前后比较对象一定要对等 再次请高人近来指点指点...... p.s.: 另外还有一问题:请问,大家长wisdom tooth的时候,如果那颗牙齿根本只是长得方向不对,抵处到了旁边的牙齿,医生建议拔掉,说以后会可能有麻烦,请问童鞋们是不是都拔了?我很害怕拔牙,从来没拔过,想起来就恐怖。 |
