compared to与compared with的区别

compared to与compared with的区别

compare with 的意思是：与…比较，compare to 的意思是：比喻为
compare...with...把……和……比较(常表示同类相比，比较)
compare...to... 把……比作……(常表示异类相比，比喻)
1.Let's compare this article with that one. 让我们把这篇文章和那篇文章作一下比较。
2.The heart is often compared to a pump. 心脏常被比作水泵。

二者相同的地方在于：compare的过去分词短语形式用作状语时, 不管同类还是异类, compared with和compared to都可以用。例：
Compared with/to western countries, China uses materials very carefully. 和西方相比,中国使用物资很节省。
