用法說明
How is "Alike" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Alike"?
alike 與 similar 的用法區別
- alike 通常只用作表語（放在 be 動詞或連綴動詞後），描述兩個或多個主語「相似」的狀態。
- similar 則可作表語或定語（放在名詞前修飾），使用範圍更廣。
- 在比較結構中，alike 常與
exactly,very much,somewhat等副詞連用，而 similar 則常與in引導的介詞片語搭配，說明在哪方面相似。 - alike 本身已包含「相互」的含義，因此前面不需再加
mutually或each other。 EN: The two sisters look exactly alike. 翻譯: 這對姊妹長得一模一樣。
EN:They have similar interests in music.
翻譯:他們在音樂方面有相似的興趣。
EN:All great minds think alike.
翻譯:英雄所見略同。

翻譯:我們在同一家店買了相似的外套。
總結建議
當描述兩個或多個主語本身狀態相似時，使用作表語的 alike；當需要修飾名詞或在句中作更靈活的成分時，則使用 similar。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Alike"?Which "Alike" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×They are alike persons.
✓They are alike. / They are similar persons.
"alike" 是敘述形容詞，只能放在 be 動詞或連綴動詞之後作補語，不能放在名詞前面修飾名詞。修飾名詞時應使用 "similar"。
×This one is more alike to the original.
✓This one is more similar to the original.
"alike" 本身已表示「相似」，通常不用比較級或最高級形式。要表達程度差異時，應改用 "similar"、"more like" 或 "closer to"。
×We bought the alike shirt.
✓We bought the same shirt.
"alike" 強調特質或外觀上的相似，但仍是不同的個體。"same" 則指完全相同的同一個或同一款。購買完全相同的物品應用 "same"。
×The student and his teacher think alike.
✓The student and his teacher think alike.
此句文法正確，但常見錯誤是當主詞為單數時誤用 "alike"。"alike" 通常用於比較兩個或多個主體，主詞應為複數概念（如 and 連接的複合主詞）。若只有一個主體，應使用 "similarly" 或重新組織句子。
×This tastes alike as the one we had yesterday.
✓This tastes like the one we had yesterday.
"alike" 是形容詞，不用於 "alike as" 的比較結構中。表達「像...一樣」應使用 "like"（介系詞）或 "similar to"。
