similar/ˈsimilə/ adj. & n.●adj. 1 (often foll. by 常后跟 to) like, alike; of the same kind, nature, or amount; having a resemblance 近似的，类似的，相似的 your house is similar to mine 你的房子与我的相似; we have similar tastes 我们的品味相似 2 Geom. shaped alike 【几】相似的 ●n. a person or thing similar to another; a counterpart 相似之人；相似之物 □ similarity /-ˈlæriti/ n. (pl. -ies)□ similarly adv.[French similaire or medieval Latin similaris from Latin similis ‘like’]■ Usage 用法说明 In sense 1, similar should be followed by to, not as. The following are non-standard: I have had similar problems as yourself; You've come up with similar suggestions as we have. They can be reworded as follows: I have had problems similar to yours; You've come up with suggestions similar to ours. 在释义 1 中， similar 后应跟 to 而不是 as 。下面的句子是不标准的 : I have had similar problems as yourself (我的问题与你的相似)； You've come up with similar suggestions as we have (你提出的建议与我们的相似)。这两句可以修改如下 : I have had problems similar to yours (我的问题与你的相似)； You've come up with suggestions similar to ours (你提出的建议与我们的相似)。 |
