compare和contrast

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。

工具软件 文本编辑软件

工具软件文本编辑软件 文本编辑软件是在日常工作和生活中使用相当频繁的应用软件之一。其主要包括两大类,即文本编辑器和文字处理器。 1.文本编辑器 几乎所有的操作系统和软件开发包都会提供文本编辑器,用于修改配置文件和代码。狭义的文本编辑器只提供一些基本的文本编辑功能,例如查找、替换、剪切、复制、粘贴等,例如,Windows系统自带的记事本软件等。 广义的文本编辑器,主要包括一些功能强大的文本编辑器,则会更多的功能。例如,多行折叠、自动行首缩进、行号排版、注释排版等,甚至针对某些编程语言或标记语言的语法校对,例如,UltraEdit等。 早期的文本编辑器在撤销更改和恢复更改方面的功能并不强大,大多只支持一级的编辑历史,只能撤销或恢复上一步的更改操作。随着软件技术的发展,现在新的文本编辑器往往可以支持多级的编辑历史,甚至可以恢复到任意一步操作。 2.文字处理器 文字处理器的作用是为桌面出版提供排版支持。多数文字处理器并非作用于各种普通文字,而是按照特定的格式处理文档,帮助无程序编制经验的人员完成文稿的创建、修改、印发工作。文字处理器通常会具备以下几种功能。 ●定义字体类型和大小 文字处理器往往可以指定文档中各种文本所使用的字体类型,例如宋体、微软雅黑等;也可以指定字体的大小。 ●定义字体颜色、斜体、粗体和下划线等样式 大多数文字处理器都允许用户为字体设置前景色(字体本身的颜色)和背景色,同时可以对字体进行加粗、倾斜、上标、下标并添加下划线和删除线。甚至还可以对英文中的字母进行处理,切换字母的大小写。 ●定义对齐方式、缩进和文字方向 在日常书写中,经常需要将根据纸张和文字的段落类型,以左、右和居中等方式和横排、竖排等方式书写。同时在段落的首行还需要缩进两个字的距离。多数文字处理器也都会提供这些功能。 ●定义列表和表格 早期的文字处理器往往只提供文字处理功能。随着技术的发展,越来越多的文字处理器允许在文字中插入各种列表和表格,并支持多种列表的项目符号。 ●插入图像和简单图像编辑 一些功能强大的文字处理器往往还会提供在文档中插入图像的功能,以及图文混排方式的选择和简单的图像编辑功能。 ●页面设置 为了面向打印输出,多数文字处理器都会提供设置各种纸张、页边距的功能,以帮助用户预览打印的效果。 3.文本编辑器与文字处理器的区别 由于文本编辑器和文字处理器等两类文本编辑软件在用途上的不同,其功能上也有较大的区别。 文本编辑器编辑的各种文档往往是未编译的文本文档或16进制文档,因此不支持各种文本样式的设置,只支持换行、制表符等简单的排版方式。使用文本编辑器打开文档,将显

comparison and contrast(比较和对比)

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.

Compare and Contrast essay example

Compare and Contrast essay example Posted by admin as Essays Compare and Contrast essay example: Introduction Two great philosophers existed during the Golden Age of Greece and the Hellenistic age, Plato and his equally famous pupil, Aristotle. Both developed structured theories and dialectic of what comprises good government and these theories were influenced by the theories of form they held. While Plato stressed that the ideal regime acts as a standard by which other regimes are judged, Aristotle concerned himself primarily in the best form of government. In light of their differing approaches,this essay will compare and contrast their notion of rulership.Focus will be on their views of: rulership and goodness, the nature of rhetoric, and the importance of knowledge in achieving wisdom. Aristotle was born in a small northern Greek town of Stagira in 384. He was born into a family of substantial wealth, and though his father died when he was a young boy, his uncle Proxenus, and other family members were charged with making sure the boy had an adequate educational background. At the age of seventeen, Aristotle left Stagira for Athens, to begin his studies at the Academy under the tutelage of Plato. This was a significant turning point in the thinking and life of young Aristotle. Later in life, Aristotle would teach his own students from a school he called the Lyceum, and in many aspects, the Lyceum shared common structures with Plato’s Academy. The Academy was oriented to a more private operation, unlike the Lyceum, embracing almost an exclusive mentality,while the Lyceum attempted to embrace a public friendly orientation. As Aristotle grew as a philosopher and public figure, other differences emerged between the student and his teacher. While Aristotle attempted to bridge a vast educational gap, Plato’s considerations and teachings focused on the elemental considerations of philosophical and political thought: “metaphysics, epistemology, logic, ethics, political theory” and primarily, philosophy. While Aristotle would pursue mathematics, the scientific, social inquiry and a vast study of the cosmos, P lato’s considerations were more limited, though the teacher alw ays respected the study of other men’s achievements in education. Though the teacher and the student had a deep affection and respect for each other, Plato and Aristotle were divided on a number of different considerations, especially related to their concepts of rulership and their views on the necessity of rhetoric and knowledge. Their political considerations regarding the nature of the state and their overall perspectives on leadership were points of disagreement between the two philosophers, especially in considering the impacts of rhetoric in the role of leadership. Aristotle stayed
