撰寫文章時,你可能會參考別人寫的詞句,按照中文的習慣,「與 ---- 較」用Compared with」似乎比較通順,但醫學文獻中不斷出現「Compared to」,你要用哪一個?
Compared with lamivudine, entacavir causes less mutation in HBV DNA.
( lamivudine 相比,entacavir 較不易造成 B 型肝炎病毒 DNA 突變。)

Compared to lamivudine, entacavir causes less mutation in HBV DNA.
with
to 之間,意思有差嗎?
我曾問過一位美國醫師,他親口告訴我:「no difference」。換句話說,你習慣用甚麼就用甚麼!

但「compared to」有時不能解釋成「比較」,作「比擬」較適合。
Jobs passed away. His life is compared to a movie.
賈柏斯死了,他的一生像是一部電影。

你要是寫得明白一點,就是這樣:
Jobs is dead. His life is like a movie.

His life is compared to a movie.
不能寫成 His life is compared with a movie.

Facebook 的問題我看有些 paper comparing to (with) 或者 To compare...,有差別嗎?
To compare with」與「Comparing with」的虛擬主詞是主動的

To compare with」因有 「To」,所以有 為了------ 之意。
To compare with vancomycin the anti-microbial effect, we adjusted the dose of teicoplanin from 500 mg to 2000 mg per day.
為了與 vancomycin 比較抗菌效果,我們調整 teicoplanin 之劑量,每天 500 2000 毫克。

Comparing with」的主詞是人,所以就是人去做比較:
We compared with other three PPIs and found that Nexium 40 mg QD is enough to achieve anti-HP effect in combination with clarithromycin and amoxicillin.
我們比較其他三種 PPIs 發現 Nexium (四十毫克) 每天服用一次就可與 clarithromycin + amoxicillin 合併達到治療幽門桿菌的效果。(HP: helicobacter pylori 幽門桿菌)
上面的句子改寫就變成
Comparing with other three PPIs, we found that Nexium 40 mg QD is enough to achieve anti-HP effect in combination with clarithromycin and amoxicillin.
此句 “Comparing with” 並沒有 為了------- ” 之意

P.S. PPI (proton pump inhibitor) 市面上有四種 Nexium, Takepron, Pantoloc, Pariet.
