英文句型九:A is to B as C is to D

比喻句。


A is to B as C is to D. A 與 B的關係,就像 C 與 D的關係。 此句型中的 as 可由what代。

女友於我而言,如同水之於魚。(缺她不成呢 XD)
My girlfriend is to me as water is to fish.

"讀書養神,鍛鍊健身。"
"Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body."

錢對於約翰來說,就像微軟公司對於比爾.蓋茨的重要性一樣。
Money is to John as Microsoft is to Bill Gates.

此句型另兩種變化:
As C is to D, so is A to B.
What C is to D, A is to B.
