comparing with (to)的使用方法

作为副词使用的「comparing with (to)」也是经常被误用的短语,下面就是几个典型的英文论中误用的实例及其修正。

[误] Comparing to the previous results, the present results are much more complete.

[正] The present results are much more complete than the previous results.

[误] Comparing with the thermal velocity, u is quite small.

[正] In comparison with the thermal velocity, u is quite small.

上述两个误用例都是语法上的错误。

「comparing with (to)」是作为一个整体副词起作用,其中让人注意的是「comparing」是以现在分词的形式出现在分局句首。一般的话,现在分词出现的分句放在句首的时候,它的后面的句子(主句)的主语和分句的主语必须一样(不一样的时候,分词叫做「悬垂分词」)上述2个误用例中,现在分词或者说动词「comparing」的主语,说的是「人」(比如「we」或者「I」),而它们接下来的主语分别是「results」和「u」。现在分词的主语和它后面的主語不一致,所以导致使用语法上的错误。

下面是「comparing with (to)」的正确使用方法举例。

[正] Comparing with the observation for Titan, we identify the following discrepancy.

[正] However, comparing to the unfiltered sample, we can show that our treatment is useful.

上述两个例子语法上虽然正确,但下面的例子「comparing」与介词「with」或「to」之间,把比较的对象直接目的语加上,表达上会更加自然。

[正] Comparing the present observations with the observation for Titan, we identify the following discrepancy.

[正] However, comparing our sample to the unfiltered sample, we can show that our treatment is useful.
