工作学习 / English / 替人问个问题：各位：这道题该选哪个？（）1. Careful and careless are_____________fire and water. A. as same as B.as different as C. as the same as 说明理由.谢谢!!! -melbournerose(命若琴弦); 2006-5-31 (#3003560@0)

佩服你这种不仅要知其然, 还要知其所以然的精神。如果直接说" 小女子跪求, 在线等"这样的话, 可能会更好。。。 -noproblem(大可以); 2006-5-31 (#3003615@0)

其实我个人觉得哪个都不是很合适，the same as才应该是最佳答案。因为本句将Careful and careless与fire and water 进行类比，说明Careful and careless的对立，故排除B 而“同-----一样”这个短语习惯上用the same as，这里的as 是连词，后面相同的成分可以省略。Same 这个词表示“同-----一样的”作adj使用时，，通常都要加定冠词the的。其他短语除外，如same here， same old -yellowcherry(天佑我的爱人); 2006-6-2 {290} (#3006032@0)
刚问了, 'as different as' is correct, bcz it refers to the phrases(careful and careless) , it doesn't refer to the whole thing. -q_q(麦得); 2006-6-2 (#3006307@0)
B is right! 指xx和xx的“区别”就像xx 和xx 一样，基本属于固定用法。 -softkiller(softkiller); 2006-6-2 (#3006319@0)
Agree with yellowcherry!! none of them is right! It should be D) the same as, means "are the same relation as XX and XX". -bigpear(大鸭梨); 2006-6-2 (#3006521@0)

Alternatively, it can also be interpreted as: Careful and careless are different - they are as different as are fire and water. -barefoot(赤脚●comfy); 2006-6-2 (#3006574@0)

at the second thought, I agree B is right, coz if "careful and careless" is considered as one phrase , the verb should be used "is" instead of "are", I neglect this one.Thanks. -yellowcherry(天佑我的爱人); 2006-6-2 (#3007116@0)

thanks. You are so scholarly... you've dug out the logic behind it.... :)) -barefoot(赤脚●comfy); 2006-6-3 (#3008572@0)

nope,barefoot, I know I've still got a long way to go.Thanks:) -yellowcherry(天佑我的爱人); 2006-6-3 (#3008623@0)

good for you. im still dwelling on my first thought -bristol(likeucare); 2006-6-5 (#3011734@0)
