Usage Note :
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.
在英国英语中，有时会用 different to 来表示某物不同于另一物：You're different to what I imagined (你跟我想象的不同)。一些人认为该用法不正确，坚称应用 different from：We humans are different from all other species (我们人类不同于所有其他物种)。在美国英语中，可用 different than 来表示某物不同于另一物。该用法在英国英语中常被视为不正确，但当比较中涉及一个分句时，它有时是最简单可行的表达方式： I am no different than I was 50 years ago (我和 50 年前没有什么不同)。
