核心问题
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。
词典解答
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)
