\n

As well as with "\u6bd4"and "\u6ca1\u6709", there is a third way to make basic comparisons: with "\u4e00\u6837" (y\u012byàng).
Rather than expressing that two things differ regarding a particular quality, \u4e00\u6837 is used to express that two things are the same in some way.<\/p>\n

Basic Structure:
<\/strong>The simple structure is used for stating that two things are equal:
Subject + \u8ddf\/\u548c\/\u50cf+Noun + \u4e00\u6837<\/p>\n

Examples:
<\/strong><\/p>\n

M\u011bi \u0261uó \u0261\u0113n y\u012bn\u0261 \u0261uó bú tài yí yàn\u0261.
\u7f8e\u56fd \u8ddf \u82f1\u56fd \u4e0d \u592a \u4e00\u6837\u3002<\/div>\n
America and England are not too similar.<\/div>\n

Structure with Adjective:
<\/strong>To add an adjective into the mix, just place it after \u4e00\u6837:
Noun 1+\u8ddf\/\u548c\/\u50cf + noun2 +\u4e00\u6837 + adjective<\/p>\n

This describes Noun 1 as being as adjective as Noun 2.<\/p>\n

Examples:
<\/strong><\/p>\n

Xi\u01ceo \u0261\u01d2u xiàn\u0261 xi\u01ceo m\u0101o yí yàn\u0261 k\u011b ài.
\u5c0f\u72d7 \u50cf \u5c0f\u732b \u4e00\u6837 \u53ef\u7231\u3002<\/div>\n
Puppies and kittens are equally cute.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
