中式英語之鑑:如你所知道的,人生常比做航海
260. 如你所知道的,人生常比做航海。
[誤] As you know, life is often compared with a voyage.
[正] As you know, life is often compared to a voyage.
注:同種類的東西相比用 compare with,不同種類的東西相比,則要用 compare to,例句中life 與 voyage 完全不同種類,故用 compare to 方合,再看下例 Famous as she is, she cannot be compared with him as a writer of tragedies.(她雖有名,但作爲一個悲劇作者是不能和他相比的。)
