In British English, people sometimes say that one thing is different to another. You're different to what I imagined. Some people consider this use to be incorrect, and insist that you should say different from. We humans are different from all other species. In American English, you can say that one thing is different than another. This use is often considered incorrect in British English, but it is sometimes the simplest possibility when the comparison involves a clause. I am no different than I was 50 years ago.
在英國英語中,有時會用 different to 來表示某物不同於另一物:You're different to what I imagined (你跟我想象的不同)。一些人認爲該用法不正確,堅稱應用 different from:We humans are different from all other species (我們人類不同於所有其他物種)。在美國英語中,可用 different than 來表示某物不同於另一物。該用法在英國英語中常被視爲不正確,但當比較中涉及一個分句時,它有時是最簡單可行的表達方式: I am no different than I was 50 years ago (我和 50 年前沒有什麽不同)。
