问
The molecular structure of chlorophyll is same to that of hemoglobin in red blood cells, except that the latter contains iron instead of magnesium. (TOEFL)
我说不出上句中的 same 有什么错误。
答
same 作“相同的，同一的”解时，有两个特点：一是通常要与定冠词连用，二是后面要跟 as 或 that 连用。上面试题中的 same 不符合这两个条件。因此，应当改为 is similar to。请做下面的英语试题：
- Some procedures used for laboratory analysis of archaeological specimens are ____ procedures conducted in crime laboratories.
A. resemble B. similar to C. same as D. alike(TOEFL)
- Anyone who has spent time with children is aware of the difference in the way boys and girls respond to ____ situations.
A. similar B. alike C. same D. likely(全国研考,91-3)
