常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Similarly"?Which "Similarly" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He is similarly to his brother.
✓He is similar to his brother.
「similarly」是副詞，用來修飾動詞、形容詞或整個句子，表示「以類似的方式」。描述兩個事物「相似」時，應使用形容詞「similar」。
×She dresses similarly her sister.
✓She dresses similarly to her sister.
使用「similarly」來比較兩個主體時，後面通常需要介系詞「to」來引導比較的對象，構成「similarly to...」的結構。
×The company expanded its market. Similarly, it increased the profit.
✓The company expanded its market. Similarly, it increased its profits.
「similarly」用於引導一個與前述情況類似的獨立句子或觀點。雖然語意上成立，但第二句的「the profit」指代不明，使用所有格「its profits」能更清晰地建立與主詞「it」(公司)的關聯，使對比更流暢自然。這是一個關於寫作清晰度的常見問題。
×I like reading and, similarly, to watch movies.
✓I like reading and, similarly, watching movies.
在使用「similarly」連接兩個並列成分時，必須保持文法結構的平行。既然前面是動名詞「reading」，後面也應使用動名詞「watching」，而不是不定詞「to watch」。
×He didn't like the idea. Similarly did I.
✓He didn't like the idea. Similarly, I didn't either. / Neither did I.
「similarly」通常不用於否定句的簡短附和。在否定句中，表達「同樣不...」應使用「neither/nor」開頭的倒裝句，或使用「similarly」搭配完整的否定句。直接將「similarly」與「did I」倒裝連用不符合習慣。
