上周知新共学翻译群的练习遇到这样的句子：

中国同意不让自己征收的平均关税超出10%的上限。该体系的创始成员巴西的这一上限是31. 4%，印度是48. 5%。

当时我们整理的一个思路是，把前后句隐藏的对比表达出来，并以此作为两句话之间的衔接，遂有了：

China agreed to put a 10% cap on its average tariffs. Contrast that withBrazil, a founding member of the system, with the ceiling at 31.4%, and India, at 48.5%.

表示A与B的对比，可以在第二句用contrast A with B的句型。从语法上看，这是一个祈使句，意思是把A与B做比较，B后面可以跟同位语或定语从句，详述B的情况。

比如经济学人之前的一个句子：

Contrast that with Infosys, an Indian technology firm, whose own retired founder succeeded in getting its boss to quit on August 18th. 不同于印度科技公司Infosys，该公司已经退休的创始人成功使现任老板于8月18日宣布辞职。
