用法說明

How is "Corresponding" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Corresponding"?

corresponding to + noun vs. corresponding with + noun

  • "corresponding to + noun" 主要用於表示兩件事物在功能、位置或數量上直接匹配或對等。
  • "corresponding with + noun" 則多用於表示與某人通信,或在抽象層面上(如想法、描述)與某事物一致或相符。
  • 在表示「與...一致」時,兩者有時可互換,但 "corresponding to" 更強調靜態的對應關係,而 "corresponding with" 可能帶有動態互動的意味。 EN: Please fill in the form with your corresponding personal details. 翻譯: 請在表格中填入你相對應的個人資料。

EN:She has been corresponding with a pen pal in Japan for years.
