【论文写作】如何表示比较关系, compare to OR compare with?
在论文写作过程中,经常会遇到两种方法或两个结果之间的比较,那么应该怎么准确灵活的表达比较关系呢?常见的表达方式是compare to 和 compare with,但二者还是有很大区别的。
- "Compare to"通常用于强调两个不同事物之间的相似之处或进行类比。例如:“Her voice was compared to that of an angel.”
- “Compare with”用于突出两个或多个相似事物之间的差异。例如:“The new smartphone is lighter and more powerful compared with the old model.”
因此,在论文写作中“Compare with”会更加适当、常用。当然,还有其他的方式来表达比较关系。以下是几个例子:
“In comparison to”: 与…相比
例如:In comparison to the previous year, sales have increased significantly.
“Contrasted with”: 与…形成对比
例如:Her calm demeanor contrasted with his nervousness.
“Compared against”: 与…相比较
例如:The new product’s features will be compared against those of its competitors.
“By contrast”: 相比之下
例如:The first team played very well, by contrast, the second team struggled to keep up.
