similar to与be similar to的区别 到底是要be动词还不是不要be动词?
similar to与be similar to的区别是一个有be动词,一个没有be动词。
要不要be动词都是成立的,主要是看similar在句子里面作什么成分,如果是表语,就需要be动词,构成主系表结构;如果作定语就不需要be动词;
1. similar to:与……相似;和……相同;
2. 举例说明:
The plotline is similar to that of many other movies. (主系表结构,需要be动词)
该主要情节与其他众多电影的主要情节相似。
The basic design of the car is very similar to that of earlier models. (主系表结构,需要be动词)
这种汽车的基本设计与早期的样式非常相似。
Chimps behave in ways quite similar to those of human beings. (作定语修饰ways,不需要be动词)
黑猩猩的行为方式与人类非常相似。
Let us suppose another planet with conditions similar to those on the earth. (作定语修饰conditions,不需要be动词)
让我们假设另一个星球的情况与地球上的相似。
similar to和be similar to的区别在于前者相当于一个形容词短语,后者则是一个动词短语。相比而言,be similar to更常用,因为它允许更多的语法结构和更多的上下文。
示例:
similar to
His behavior was similar to that of a spoiled child.(他的行为类似于一个被宠坏的孩子。)
The taste of this tea is similar to that of my favorite brand.(这种茶的味道类似于我最喜欢的品牌。)
be similar to
This dress is very similar to the one she wore to the party last week.(这件连衣裙很像她上周在派对上穿的那件。)
The architecture of this building is similar to that of the one we saw in Italy.(这栋建筑的风格与我们在意大利看到的那个类似。)
因为similar在这里作形容词,不能单独出现作谓语,一定要有be动词作谓语,结构就是be动词+形容词
它的反义词是 be different from
