Compare usually takes the preposition to when it refers to the activity of describing the resemblances between unlike things: He compared her to a summer day. Scientists sometimes compare the human brain to a computer. It takes with when it refers to the act of examining two like things in order to discern their similarities or differences: The police compared the forged signature with the original. The committee will have to compare the Senate's version of the bill with the version that was passed by the House. When compare is used to mean “to liken (one) with another,” with is traditionally held to be the correct preposition: That little bauble is not to be compared with (not to) this enormous jewel. But to is frequently used in this context and is not incorrect.

又是MM妳啊！！Thanks a million!!

MM的意思是“compare with強調不同點，compare to強調相同點”，對吧？？我就是這么認為的

我是覺得分號以后的句子the car may get where it is going, but people may be hurt in the process是不同點，不過剛纔又看暸看，髮現好像是相同點。

如果是這樣的話，就沒問題暸，請再幫我確認一下吧，謝謝
