How to Use gēn… yíyàng (跟……一樣): Chinese Comparisons and Practice
中文比較句「跟……一樣」：用法、語序、例句與練習
Zhōngwén bǐjiào jù “gēn… yíyàng”: yòngfǎ, yǔxù, lìjù yǔ liànxí
A gēn B yíyàng is a highly useful Chinese comparison pattern. It says that two people, objects, or situations are the same in a particular respect; adding bù expresses a difference. You can compare brands, ages, and interests, as well as how well or quickly someone sings, runs, or drives.
「A 跟 B 一樣」是中文裡非常實用的比較句，用來表示兩個人、物品或情況在某個方面相同；加入「不」就能表達不同。它可以比較品牌、年齡、興趣，也能比較唱歌、跑步或開車等動作的程度。
“A gēn B yíyàng” shì Zhōngwén lǐ fēicháng shíyòng de bǐjiào jù, yòng lái biǎoshì liǎng ge rén, wùpǐn huò qíngkuàng zài mǒu ge fāngmiàn xiāngtóng; jiārù “bù” jiù néng biǎodá bùtóng. Tā kěyǐ bǐjiào pǐnpái, niánlíng, xìngqù, yě néng bǐjiào chànggē, pǎobù huò kāichē děng dòngzuò de chéngdù.
This lesson first separates noun comparisons from comparisons of how an action is performed. Five everyday examples and write-in exercises will help you place gēn correctly and remember when a separable verb must be repeated.
本課會先分清名詞比較與動作程度比較的語序，再用五組生活例句及可輸入答案的練習，幫助你避免「跟」的位置錯誤或忘記重複離合動詞。

Yùdào líhé dòngcí shí, yào chóngfù dòngcí: A + VO + V + de + gēn + B + yíyàng + xíngróngcí. Lì: Tā chànggē chàng de gēn nǐ yíyàng hǎo.
Evaluations such as equally good, beautiful, or important may reflect the speaker’s opinion. However, having the same brand or age can be an objective fact. The pattern itself is not necessarily subjective; it depends on what is being compared.
「一樣好、漂亮、重要」等評價可能帶有說話者的主觀看法；但「品牌一樣、年齡一樣」也可以是客觀事實。因此，這個句型本身不一定主觀，關鍵在比較的內容。
“Yíyàng hǎo, piàoliang, zhòngyào” děng píngjià kěnéng dàiyǒu shuōhuà zhě de zhǔguān kànfǎ; dàn “pǐnpái yíyàng, niánlíng yíyàng” yě kěyǐ shì kèguān shìshí. Yīncǐ, zhège jùxíng běnshēn bù yídìng zhǔguān, guānjiàn zài bǐjiào de nèiróng.
