[讨论]compare to/with（确认帖）

rpch2004

搜了很多老帖，做个小结：

1.  compared to/with something
used when considering the size, quality, or amount of something in relation to something similar
eg1 : a 20% reduction in burglary compared with last year

eg2 : Compared to our small flat, Bill's house seemed like a palace.

In other words, when we are talking about "number", compared to = compared with

 

 

2．"to compare to" is to point out or imply resemblances between objects regarded as essentially of a different order.

 

 

3．compare to   VERSUS  compare with:

On the GMAT, "compare with" is the generally preferred form.  Use "compare to" to point out an abstract or figurative likeness, and "compare with" to consider likeness and differences in general.

eg1 : Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

eg2 : Compared with a summer's day, it's cold outside.

 

 

4. compare to 寻找事物的相同点

  Compare with 寻找事物的不同点

5．Og11(yellow)已经淡化二者区别，在口语中二者接近相同。只是compare to可表示“比喻”，而compare with不能

如果COMPARE TO有比较的意思，那么它的被动和主动形式意思有没有不同呢？

that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times

that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio

A compare to B

B be compared to A

感觉区别不大，如果有区别可能是侧重点的区别，句子重心的问题，其指正

第二个的the ratio 位置明显不对，根据其他来判断

GMAC自己出本语法书算了.

umm...can't agree with dianecarton more =D
unfortunately, GMAC doesn't publish; otherwise, it would make millions of dollars easily =D

还是不明白compare to 与compare with什么时候用哪个？

还有那个as compared to 与compare to就是被动与主动的区别吗？
