contrast
1.In contrast with和in contrast to都作“和…作对比”或“和…大不相同”解,后者较普通。
2.在用作“对比的东西”(就是“相反的东西”)解的时候,contrast后面通常接to,偶尔接with。例如:Black is a contrast to(或with)white和She is a contrast to(或with)her mother in temper.
3.说“跟…对比”(就是“跟…对照”)用contrast现在远不及用contrast with普通,如The flowers contrast with the grass里的with不该省去。
