一、我们先从两者的定义入手来看两者的区别。
Compare的定义为：to examine people or things to see how they are similar/alike or differen t.
Contrast的定义为：to compare two or more things to show the difference between them.
由定义不难看出前者侧重于找到两个或多个事物的异同，而后者则侧重于它们的不同。
二、compare..., 就是比较和找出共同点，通常会在两个不同的东西做比较，比如番茄和苹果的共同点；如果题目有contrast....时，就是比较两个表面类似的东西并找出不同之处，像比较红苹果和青苹果。
The cloud looks very bright in contrast with the blue sky.
在蓝天的映衬下云显得很白。
The man appears to be very tall and thin in contrast with his fat wife.
在他肥胖的太太的对照下，他看上去又高又瘦。
compare常常是指同一类型东西的范围和程度上的差别，因此常常会和比较级连用，比如：
Compare to French and German, English is much easier to learn.
和法语以及德语相比，英语好学多了。
It costs nothing compare to what I have spent before.
和我所花出去的比起来，这几乎不值什么钱。
三、还有一些固定搭配，再如：
It is interesting to compare their situations to ours.
对比一下我们的情况与他们的情况会很有趣。
It is interesting to contrast their situations to ours.
我们的情况与他们的情况有很大的不同，这很有趣。
再看一个引自OXFORD ADBANCED LEARNER’S DICTIONARY（《牛津高阶初学者（……）字典》）的例子：
There is an obvious contrast between the culture of East and West.
东西方文化有着明显对比（不同）。
The company lost $7 million in contrast to a profit of $6.2 million a year earlier.
相较与一年之前620万美元的利润（不同），公司损失了700万美元。
When you look at their new system， ours seems very old-fashioned by contrast.
当你看他们的新系统，比较起来（与之相反），我们的似乎很老式。
不难发现，Compare 翻译为“与……相比”
而contrast可译为“明显不同的是……”，切记这种翻译方式就不会用错彼此了。

日常生活常用经典英语口语集合 英语口语句子——篮球 1. Van Exel beat the shot clock with a 3-pointer with 1:13 left for a101-99 lead, but Mason hit an off-balance shot in the lane. Van Exel在比赛剩下1分13秒出手时限结束前投进一记三分球使比数以101比99领先，但是Mason在禁区内在身躯不稳的情形下也投进一球。 beat the shot clock：在出手时限结束之前(完成出手投篮的动作) 。NBA规定进攻一方必须在内24秒出手投篮，但在球过中线以后在前场的发球后，必须在14 内秒出手投篮，否则违例。shot clock即是这种限时的定时器。在工作时限(deadline，例如：交报告、交学费、申请入学、报名考试等的截止日期)前完成工作，可以说beatthe deadline。 2. Jerry Stackhouse scored 13 of his 34 points in the final 3:38 asthe Detroit Pistons beat the Grizzlies 90-80 Thursday night, ruining theirdebut in a new hometown that had waited more than three decades for such ateam. 星期四晚间，底特律活塞队以90比80击败灰熊队中；Jerry Stackhouse在最后的3分38秒里拿下13分，他全场共得34分的比赛。灰熊队的新家(肯塔基州曼菲斯城)等了30 年才盼到一支球队的主场首胜美梦就此破灭。 ruin：坏了…的好事，…的好事泡汤。 debut：首度公开出现(于某场合)。 Three decades：三个十年(decade)，三十年。 3.

NBA最有价值球员Iverson的右肘仍在养伤之中。NBA最佳第六人McKie右肩受伤。 两人即将返回球场。 rehabilitating：养伤，原形是rehabilitate，名词形为rehabilitation。其它的用字还有recuperate。「护士」一字nurse当做动词用也是「养伤」的意思。 close to：接近于…。此处的「接近」是指接近某种程度或状况。由于此处的to是介系词，因此后面接着用动词时，应用动名词【动词+ing】；千万不要把这个to 当做不定词的to 而接动词原形。 4. The Cavaliers managed to get within eight points early in thefourth quarter, but it didn't take long for the Kings to finish themoff. …Seattle forward Rashard Lewis managed only 11 points. 第四节才开始不久，骑士队勉强将比数拉近到只落后8 分，但好景不常，国王队后来仍终结了骑士队…西雅图(超音队)的前锋Rashard Lewis 拼拼凑凑只得到11分。 managed：设法…；勉强达到…的目标。做此意思解释时，后面接动词时必须使用不定词的型式。 take long：花很长的一段时间。此词组通常只用于否定句。

Comparison and Contrast Comparison and contrast are two different kinds of writing and thinking ways in my opinion and which make sense not only in passages but also in real life. In the field of writing, an excellent comparison and contrast essay requires us to analyze objects or concepts and explain the similarities or differences well between them. For example, an essay might examine how high school is like and not like college or how the causes of World War I and II were different and similar. The thesis for a comparison and contrast essay explains the essay's purpose and organization in one concise sentence. So it is very important to understand clearly the structure and topic of this kind of essay. Before discussing obvious similarities and differences of objects or concepts, we must figure out what the topic we want to come up with is and how to make essay interesting with the topic. And then, we’d Put our specific points together to create a thesis for our comparison and contrast essay. As soon as we can master above writing points and practice again and again, we will write a great passage with satisfaction. The same as essay, our normal life would get smoother with this logical thought. Especially in nowadays, information in net is multiple. Normal people can hardly recognize what the truth and fake is. If we put this thinking way to use to compare and contrast two and even more news or affairs, we’d picture a clear image in our mind and live more sanely and intelligently. Essay or life, comparison and contrast are practical and suited to use. And make it well, you will get progress in yourself as well as a fresh feeling you’ve never owned.

?What is comparison & contrast? ? A comparison points out ways that two or more persons , places , or things are alike. ? A contrast points out how they are different. ?The subjects of a comparison and contrast should be in the same class or general category, with comparable items. ?How to write a comparison and contrast paragraph ?The topic sentence should show whether the writer will concentrate on similarities, differences, or both. ?Then in the following sentences you should have to decide whether the discussion will consist mainly of similarities or differences or both. ?In the conclusion, you can offer advices to the reader or looking in the future. ?Two Logical patterns ?1)the subject –by –subject or Item－by－Item pattern/ block presentation(逐事比较) (按照比较/对比对象展开) ?If we are dealing with two broad topics, which are not too complex or detailed, we may begin by discussing the first one, and then go on discussing the second, following the pattern: A1,A2,A3…;B1,B2,B3… ?It can be used in a short paragraph or essay. ?Ex. Model 1 There are many similarities between doctors and teachers. First, both doctors and teachers are considered professionals by their communities. The classification of professional is the highest socioeconomic rank an individual can achieve in this society. Second, both doctors and teachers help others: doctors heal the bodies of sick people, and return them to health, and teachers mold the minds of young people and turn them into responsible , educated adults. last, both doctors and teachers are essential members of a community. It is difficult to imagine a city or town that has no need of either a doctor or a teacher. Such a place would truly be primitive. ?2)the point-by -point pattern/ alternating presentation ?(逐点比较)(按照比较/对比内容展开) ?if the topic are complex or too detailed , it may be preferable to examine them in pairs, turning first to one and then to the other alternately as we write, following the pattern: A1,B1;A2,B2;A3,B3.. ?It can be used in a long paragraph or essay. ?Model 2: Taking notes is one thing I?ve learned to do better since high school days. I used to lose interest in what I was doing and begin doodling(乱写乱画), drawing Martians, or seeing what my signature would look like if I married the cute guy in the second row. Now, however , I try not to let my mind wander , and I pull my thoughts back into focus when they begin to go fuzzy. In high school, my notes often looked like something written in Arabic. ?In college , I?ve learned to use a semiprint writ ing style that marks my notes understandable. When I would look over my high school notes, I couldn?t understand them. There would be a word like “Reconstruction” , then a big blank, and then the word “important”. Weeks later, I had no idea what Reconstruc tion was or why it is important. I…ve since learned to write down connecting ideas, even if I have to take time to do it after
（口语必备）十大给力的“英语开场白”！2011年01月25日23:19:50 在遇到陌生人时或在冷场的情况下， 你是否会想到要说些什么来引发大家的交谈？ 如果有这样的想法， 你又是否知道哪些谈话开场白（conversation starter）是人们所喜欢的？ 以下的十大开场白方式转自新东方英语， 适用于在任何情况下对任何人发起谈话， 如果能学以致用一定精彩！ 大家开始背吧， 直到能脱口而出...... 加油！ 邱政政 1. 换个方式问"How are you?"： "How are you doing right now?" "How's your day been so far?" 同样是问"你过得怎样？"但是如此问的效果要好很多，因为没人想去回答甚至思考一下像"How are you?"这样一个过于陈腐的问题。 2. 人们总是乐意谈论最近发生的新鲜事： "What's happened for you today?" "How was your trip?" "How'd you sleep last night?" 3. 借助情境，简单评论一下身边事物：
"What do you think of that book?" "Looks like a great drink. What is it?" "I love this place because it's got great energy." 4. 以赞美来开头： "I like your posture. It makes you stand out nicely." "Nice shirt. Where did you get it?" "I love your style!" 5. 谈谈天气： "It's so hot today." "The great sun is burning this afternoon." "It's freezing! Do you know the temperature?" 这个方式经常被提到，但是美国漫画家Kin Hubbard说，"Don't knock the weather. Nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while."要用天气这种通常情况下没有太多变化的东西来发起谈话并非一定容易，所以也不可过分倚重于此。 6. 降低姿态： "I don't know anyone around here so I thought I'd come talk to you." "I'm a little nervous talking with strangers, but I just had to come say hi." "I know no one here so I thought I'd introduce myself to you." 这类我们可以称之为"vulnerable introduction"，也就是在开场白中显露出自己的惶恐忧虑，这样比较容易让人愿意接近。 7. 坦率表明自己想要接近的原因： "I'm out meeting new, interesting people tonight. Mind if we chat for a minut e?" "You guys look like you're having fun. That's so cool that I just had to come talk to you." "I had to come talk to you because your shirt made me laugh." 8. 了解即时讯息，谈谈热门事件： "I was just listening to radio on my way here and can't believe what happene d in Africa." 如果你不是那种喜欢啃报纸、听新闻的人，那就可以以询问对方有什么新鲜事的方式来
