Common mistakes
The two devices are functionally same.The two devices are functionally the same.
英语中 same 与 the 连用构成固定短语 the same,不能省略冠词。汉语“一样”没有冠词,中国学习者常漏掉 the。functionally 是副词,修饰 the same 这一形容词短语。
The new version is functionally equivalent with the old one.The new version is functionally equivalent to the old one.
形容词 equivalent 后接介词 to,构成 be equivalent to sth,不能用 with。汉语“与……等价”直译成 equivalent with,是典型的母语干扰。functionally 正确修饰 equivalent,但介词搭配必须用 to。
