bored的用法精讲

　　None of those birds compare to L.A. pigeons.

　　No, today’s calamities don't compare to the Great Depression or even to the agricultural troubles of the 1980s.

　　Compared to...

　　当使用过去分词形式的compared引出一个从句或短语时，介词to或with都是可以的，只是近期使用to更多一些：

　　This was a modest sum compared to what other people spent.

　　Compared to physics and astronomy, cosmology is a young science.

　　However, compared with the USA and Japan, Europe contains a group of separate nation states.

　　Comparable, comparison

　　Comparable是否与to或with搭配，也是同上一段讨论一样，两个介词都可以，当下更多使用to来搭配：

　　We find ourselves in a situation comparable to mediaeval times.

　　Social mobility is, in fact, comparable with most countries in Europe.

　　Comparison作为compare对应的名词可以跟着with或to:

　　Poussin’s approach bears closest comparison to Michelangelo’s.

　　Prices for real estate in Tbilisi cannot stand comparison with Western capitals or indeed Moscow.

　　短语in comparison to要比in comparison with更为常见，但by comparison with的使用率却高于by comparison to：

　　The film is utterly benign in comparison to some of the more violent movies of today.

　　The standard is pitiable in comparison with other countries.

　　By comparison with North Sea oil production, it is a drop in the ocean.

　　从本质上说，介词with和to跟在compare, comparable和comparison后面都是可以的，在你选择介词的时候，可以查看一下句子适用的地区和上下文语法。

　　Different from, than, to?

　　短语different from, different than, different to之间是否有什么区别，而是否这几种表达都是“正确”的呢?

　　在实际应用中，different from目前英式和美式英语中最常见的用法：

　　We want to demonstrate that this government is different from previous governments. (英式英语)

　　This part is totally different from anything else that he's done. (美式英语)

　　而短语different than主要用于美式英语中：

　　Teenagers certainly want to look different than their parents.

　　最后，different to在英式英语中的使用较美式英语中更为普遍：

　　In this respect the Royal Academy is no different to any other major museum.

　　有些人批评说different than的用法是不正确的，但这种观点也没有实际的正当理由。这三种表达方式之间没有太大差别，并且都被很多知名的作者使用过。

英语语法：短语be aware of，be blind to的用法

　　动词短语是由动词和介词、副词、名词等构成的，在句中作谓语。

　　例句：Families must be made aware of field trips and give permission for their children to participate. (2015年6月四级)

　　结构分析：Families是主语， must be made aware of 是谓语1，field trips是宾语1， and连接词， give是谓语2， permission是宾语2， for their children to participate是状语。
