易错句子We found many dissimilarity between the two dialects.
正确表达We found many dissimilarities between the two dialects.
many 只能修饰复数可数名词，不能修饰单数名词。表示具体的若干处不同时，dissimilarity 是可数名词，须用复数 dissimilarities；它以“辅音字母+y”结尾，变 y 为 i 再加 -es。

易错句子The dissimilarity between the two systems are obvious.
正确表达The dissimilarity between the two systems is obvious.
主语中心词是单数名词 dissimilarity，谓语必须用 is。between the two systems 只是修饰主语的介词短语，其中 systems 是复数，但不能因此就把谓语改成 are，因为主谓一致只由中心词决定。
difference 最通用，任何不同之处都能用，口语和书面都常见；dissimilarity 更正式、偏学术，强调“缺乏相似性”，多指外观或性质上不相像，日常口语很少用。
disparity 指明显且往往不公平的差距，多用于收入、数量、待遇等可衡量的事物；dissimilarity 只说明彼此不相像，不含“高低悬殊”的意思。
distinction 强调人为区分出来的差别，常与 between 连用，还可指“卓越、荣誉”；dissimilarity 只是客观说明不相像，没有“加以区分”或“优异”的含义。
