Question

analogy n.类比；相似；类似 (1) 用类推法论证并不总是可靠的。(2) 他用一个类比来解释这个过程。(3) 他根据你的理论类推得出这个结论。(4) 你和我之间没有相似之处。(5) 人的心脏和泵有类似之处。 Some standardized tests still have "analogy questions," which are given in this format: A : B :: C : ___ (read "A is to B as C is to what?"). This is a more formalized version of something we do every day: compare one thing to another. It's a useful way of speaking — if a scientist explains that the earth's forests function as its lungs, we understand the analogy to mean that both trees and lungs take in important elements from the air. But when Forrest Gump says life is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you're going to get, that's a pretty brainless analogy.
