经常碰到的就两种用法:
1.对于compared with直接跟在逗号后面可以修饰逗号前面名词短语的核心词:In the United States, while the number of foreign-born residents and their children is higher than ever, the percentage of the population they represent is not; in 1910 this group made up 35 percent of the population, compared with 20 percent in 2000;
2.当然,Compared with也可以修饰前面整个分句,compared with后面的名词与主语比较:Today, more than 43 percent of Californians under the age of eighteen are Hispanic, compared with about 35 percent a decade ago.
在我看来根本就没逻辑主语的问题,只有比较对象是否合理的问题,人家其实就是一个比较词罢了,总结一下:
1.当主语比较时:A do/be sth, compared with B (+状语)
A和B应该是对等的名词or代词,通常为百分比/倍数,
2.当宾语比较时:(也就是就近修饰逗号前名词):A do C1, compared with C2
C1C2为比较对象,要求与前面的rule一致,其实就是可比且对等
3.也曾有过as compared to/with的使用,其中as指代前句核心含义,要求to/with后的比较对象要对等
到底是比较谁,怎么比具体的都是看题,没有定数,只能靠逻辑语义

sisi,这个问题是我考试之前问的~~结果一直没人回答,伤心了好一阵子呢。。。
关于compared with,它在句末我没有疑问,因为可以比较任意位置的数字,而且根据你2中的解释,根据语义也可以比较宾语。但是我记得当时提这个问题的时候题目是:Compared with A...,B do....(原句实在是找不到了),这里的compared with是不是应该和其它Ved...,A do..中的ved一样,逻辑主语是B啊?

我觉得可以与其他VED 一样。
补充
if you have a sentence that says "compared to/with" (or similar constructions, including "in comparison to", "as compared to/with", etc.), then the sentence CANNOT also use a comparison word, such as more, less, greater, prefer, better, worse, X times as much, etc.
to use "compared to/with", you just STATE statistics, without using any other comparison word.
examples:
this year's unemployment rate of 12% is three times as great compared to the rate in 1994 --> incorrect (redundant)
the correct way to write it:
this year's unemployment rate is 12%, compared to 4% in 1994
i.e., you just come out and SAY the statistics, and then give "compared to".
"Compare to" Vs "Compare with":
"Compare to" is to suggest resemblances between things that have essentially DIFFERENT natures.
"Compare with" is to suggest resemblances between things that have essentially SIMILAR natures.
Examples:
In appearance, ripples in ocean water can be compared to frosting spread on a cake. -- Both sides of the comparison are totally different.
Despite their different capacities, RAM can be compared with ROM in that both involve memory storage. -- Both sides of the comparison belong to a similar category
