(单词翻译)

same, similar

这一对形容词的涵义并不相同。

Same是“同一的”、“一样的”、“没有变的”;similar是“相像的”、“类似的”。因此,the same mistake 是“同样的错误”,a similar mistake是“类似的错误”;on the same plan是“以同一的方法”,on a similar plan是“以类似的方法”。

另一点要注意的是,same之前要用the、this或that 等词,只有在口语里例外。similar之后用to,不用with。same的名词是sameness;similar的名词是similarity。

请看下面例句:

I'm in the same class with him.

我和他在同一个班里读书。

The patient is much the same as yesterday.

病人的情况和昨日大致一样。

You can pay now or later; it's all the same to me.

你现在付也好,以后付也好,对我来说都一样。

有时候,same和this、that、these、those等词连用,可以表示嘲笑、侮蔑等意。例:

What is the use of this (that) same patience?

如此忍耐又有何用?

下面是similar的例子:

The cat and the tiger have similar features.

猫同虎有类似的特点。

A cat is similar to a tiger in many ways.

猫同虎有很多地方相像。

Gold is similar in colour to brass1.

黄金和黄铜的颜色很相像。

A high-level delegation2 has arrived for talks apparently3 aimed at trying to revive a similar relationship that has waned4 in recent years.

一个高层代表团到来会谈,显然想改善近年采已衰退的关系,恢复类似以前的关系。
