注意：

1.be different常接介詞from、to或than,在英語中常用different to,在美語中有時用

different than,而different from英美都用。在口語中, different from有時可接從句。

She is quite a different girl _________she was five years ago.

A. from B. to C. than D. with

一般說來，若兩個比較的對象是名詞、代詞或狀語短語等，則用different from [to, than] 均可(盡管有普通與不普通之分，有英國英語與美國英語之别)。 但是若提出來供比較的對象是一個沒有引導詞的句子，則通常隻用 different than。注意上題就是這種情況。又如：

Schools are different than they used to be. 學校與原來不一樣了。

順便說一句，若是一個以 what 引導的從句，則可以用 from或 to。比較：

She is quite different from [to] what we thought.

＝She is quite different than we thought. 她跟我們原來想象的大不一樣。

所以，最佳的答案應是C。

她看上去與我想象的不一樣。

2.different在肯定句中可用very修飾,在否定句中則用much修飾。表示否定時用no修飾different比用not否定的語氣強,後者隻指“相同”,而前者則強調“一模一樣”“毫無差别”。
