【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.
