释义 | 1. 对于 different from,different than 和 different to 的解释有许多说法,最新的说法是以下几点。 1) different from 最常用,而且在英美都常用: Paris is different from most Euro- pean cities. He is different from the rest of us. 2) 不少人说,different than 是美国用法,在英国英语中不能用; 也有人说它在英美都是标准用法,than 后面跟从句尤其如此。不管怎样,说它在美国使用更加频繁一些是不错的: These things were different than they used to be. We are not really any different than they are. 3) different to 是标准的英国用法,很少在美国使用: They are different to what they were. My method is different to hers. 2. different 与 various 都可译成“不同的”,但含义不同。 1) different 比较普通和常用,它所指的“不同”有时仅强调“分开”,没有相互比较的意思: Three different people told her the same story. 2) various 强调“种类繁多”,多指 “数目”方面的“差异”: The products they sell are many and various. |
