When we compare two things to show they are similar, we should use the phrase "compare to".  When we compare two similar things to show their difference, we shold use the phrase "compare with" instead.

The second and thrid links you gave are for the adjective "comparable" not for the the verb "compare".

• In that case, I think "comparable with" should be used. -EnLearner- ♀ 给 EnLearner 发送悄悄话 EnLearner 的博客首页 (114 bytes) () 08/09/2011 postreply 21:21:47
