Compare 在句子开头只能是Compared with 才对  我想请问一下D哪错了  谢谢

xiaoniuren

D 项的 ongoing trade imbalances 和 the United States sold record exports 是不同事物，不能用COMPARE WITH 比较

compare 在句子开头只能用compared with ,不能用compare to 。我去查查

沒聽說過compared to在句首就不對.
compared to/with在比較, 不同的東東怎比? 所以E錯

xiaoniuren

compare to 用于比较不同事物， compare with 用于比较相同事物

E 选项不就是在比较不同事物吗？何错之有?

sunmoon115

compare to是比较不同事物的相似性

moonsun912

trade imbalance 跟trade deficit是一个东西，而不是和 export record

AlienX

umm...compared to/with的區別在不同的書上有不同的explanation.
個人認為ETS並沒有區分它們.

GMAT中 这两个词组没区别， 其他的选项错， 是因为 比较对象 与主句主语不一致。。。

xiaoniuren

如果是没有区别的话，那这题可以说的过去
