應試寫作——如何用不同的方法表示「比較」？
編輯/黃家佳
不管是托福雅思，還是普通學校的英文檢測，亦或是日常口語，我們都常常需要用到表示「比較」的表達法。除了“Like”，你還知道其他可以替換的說法嗎？
1、both
Both Canada and England have a queen. 加拿大和英國都有皇后。
Both C and E have cities. 加拿大和英國都有城市。
注意：1）both放句首；2）both… and… 固定搭配
2、like
Like Canada, England has many immigrants. 就像加拿大，英國也有很多移民。
Like cats, dogs have furs. 就像貓，狗身上也有很多毛。
注意：like在這裡是介詞(prep.)，不是動詞(v.)
3、similarly/ in comparison/ in the same way/ likewise
In England, they speak English. Similarly, in Canada many people speak English.
In England, they speak English. In comparison, in Canada many people speak English.
In England, they speak English. In the same way, in Canada many people speak English.
In England, they speak English. Likewise, in Canada many people speak English.
英國人說英語，加拿大也說英語。
注意：後面都加逗號
另一例句：
Dogs are great pets. Similarly, cats are great pets.
可以試試用其他詞代替嗎？
4、be similar to/ be the same as
Canada is similar to England. 加拿大跟英國很像。
Canada is the same as England. 加拿大就和英國一模一樣。
注意： “be the same as”表示「一模一樣」，語氣更強烈，注意區分
