词语用法

adj. (形容词)

1. different强调事物存在本质上的差别,有时有对比意义,可以修饰单数和复数名词。
2. different常接介词from、to或than,在英语中常用different to,在美语中有时用different than,而different from英美都用。在口语中, different from有时可接从句。
3. different在肯定句中可用very修饰,在否定句中则用much修饰。表示否定时用no修饰different比用not否定的语气强,后者只指“相同”,而前者则强调“一模一样”“毫无差别”。
4. different在句中可用作定语或表语,无比较级和最高级。

词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

different from, different than, different to

• 这三者都可以作“与…不同”解。其区别是：
• 1.侧重点不同:different from侧重于不同; different than侧重于对照; different to则侧重于比较。试比较:
• Her second book is different from her first.
• 她写的第二本书和第一本书不同。
• She is different than any other girl in the class.
• 和班上其他女孩子相比较,她是与众 不同的。
• Huang Shan is different to Lu Shan, people usually say so after they visit these two scenic spots.
• 黄山与庐山各有千秋,人们在游完了 这两个风景胜地后常常这样说。
• 2.different from是标准用法,英美普遍使用; 而英式英语常用different to; different than则用于美国习语。例如:
• That is different form what we thought. (BrE and AmE)
• That is different to what we thought.(BrE)
• That is different than we thought.(AmE)
• 那与我们想的不同。
• 3.在口语中, different from有时后接疑问词引起的从句。在这种情况下, from不宜改成than或to。例如:
• Things are very different from what they used to be.情况与以前大不一样了。
• 4.有时different than后面可接that从句,这时than不宜改为from或to。例如:
• They are not more different now than they were last year.他们现在和去年没有什么区别。

different, various

• 这两个词都可表示“不同的”。其区别是：
• 1.different着重在事物之间的差别,可指事物之间的本质差别,也可指事物之间的非本质的差别; various一般指同范围内的不同种类,不强调本质的差别。例如:
• I met the old man at various times and various places.我在不同的时间和不同的地点遇到过这位老人。
• 2.different后可接单数名词,也可接复数名词; 而various后只能接复数名词。

下面两个句子意思不同:

• Your plan is no different from mine.
• 你的计划和我的一模一样〔完全相同〕。
• Your plan is not different from mine.
• 你的计划和我的没有差别。

different，various，diverse

• 这些形容词均含“不同的”之意。
• different普通用词，强调事物间的区别或本质的不同。有时侧重对比，不着重差别。
• various通常强调种类的数目。
• diverse语气较强，指性质完全不同，着重显著的区别。
