2020考研英語作文：比較狀語的寫作指導
英語寫作當中經常會用到“……很重要”這一句式，一般考生會用something be important/essential的詞匯表達。不過學了比較狀語從句以后，大家可以試著用一種更高級的表達方式，一定會讓閱卷老師眼前一亮，作文高分就不在話下啦。
箴言仿寫：Cultivation is to the mind what food is to the body.
——M·T·Cicero
上述句子可以概括為A is to B what C is to D.替換ABCD四個名詞就可以用來表達“重要性”這一概念。
【例句】
★ 人生態度——樂觀與悲觀
A positive attitude is to life what the sun is to the earth.積極的態度對于生活，好比太陽對于地球一樣。
★ 談讀書
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.閱讀對于思想，好比運動對于身體一樣。
★ 贍養父母——家庭
Family is to the people what life is to the individual.家庭對于人類，好比生活對于個人一樣。
★ 投訴信
Cleanness is to the canteen what reputation is to the people.清潔對于食堂來說，好比名譽對于人一樣。
★ 談誠信
Honesty is to the people what life is to the creature.誠信對于人來說，好比生命對于人一樣。
比較狀語(倍數表達法)：
A+ be+倍數+as many/much as+ B
A+ be+倍數+the amount+ B
A+ be+倍數+what it was+ B
【例句】
