语源
  1. late Middle English: via Old French from Latin different- 'carrying away, differing', from the verb differre (see differ)
用法
  1. Different from, different than, and different to: are there any distinctions between these three collocations, and is one more correct than the others? Since the 18th century, different than has been singled out by critics as incorrect. In practice, different from is the most common structure, both in the UK and North America, while different than is almost exclusively used in North America. It is difficult to sustain the view in modern standard English that one is more correct than the others, however. There is little difference in sense between the three, and all of them are used by respected writers
