parallel: implies that the two things being compared are so like that their lack of divergence suggests parallel lines: drew a ~ between their experience.    divergence离散，反义词convergence汇聚收敛    （resemble表示外表像，like泛指像，可以是外表或内在，analogous则表示不同类别间只是有些类似，在2018-02-13 相似similar-identical）    这个词多指发展轨迹the course of development相似，又如the parallel career of two movie stars两位影星职业生涯相似


counterpart: suggests a complementary and sometimes an obverse relationship: gave the balls to her ~ on the other team.  complementary互补，指不同的事物结合，变得有用有吸引力different things form a useful or attractive combination    （obverse对立面对应的事物the opposite of something，如the obverse of love is hate爱的反面是恨）   这个词在新闻中很常用，如习主席的counterpart是川普，裤子的counterpart是裙子


analogue: usually implies a more remote likeness and may involve a comparison made to clarify, enlighten, or demonstrate: saw faith in technology as an ~ to earlier beliefs in supernatural forces.      （相似，指相像相类；类似，指只是大致相像。相似是同一类中的个体与个体之间的比较，例如两个图形形状相同但大小不同，那么这两个图形相似。而类似是不同集合之间的交集，如"臣望颜色仪容，类似先帝"，如找出犯错误的原因，避免再犯类似的错误）     又如analogous political systems类似政治体系，如the gills of fishes are analogous to the lungs in terrestrial animals鱼类的鳃与陆上动物的肺类似


correlate: applies to what corresponds to something else from another point of view or in another order of viewing: debated whether higher interest rates are a ~ of economic prosperity.    relation关系是指由自然的或逻辑的连接implies a natural or logical connection，前缀COM进一步强调互相之间有关系     （又如obesity correlates with increased risk for hypertension and stroke肥胖会增加高血压和中风发作的几率，如本例，辩论高利率是否带来经济繁荣，如the figures do not seem to correlate这些数字似乎毫不相干）


parallel相似平行: 指二者十分相似，像平行线一样不分离，counterpart对等人物: 表示互补或对等，analogue类似: 指只是类似(remote likeness)，是为了澄清阐明演示，correlate相关紧密关联: 指二者具有关系(from another point从另一视角看呼应，即有关系)，且通常是因果关系


记忆方法: 1）首字母PCAC想成A CPC一个共产党<==相应

         2）相应的意思是二者呼应或类似mean one that corresponds to or closely resembles another.          (correspond  1、符合一致相呼应相当于stresses the way in which dissimilar elements match, complement or answer to each other不同事物之间相互匹配互补呼应，如fulfillment seldom corresponds to anticipations结果很少能符合预期，如your account of events does not correspond with hers你对事情的陈述与她说的不相符，如the British job of Lecturer corresponds roughly to the US Associate Professor英国的讲师职位大致相当于美国的副教授   2、通信to send or receive letters，如she still corresponds with American friends she met in Majorca nine years ago她仍与9年前在马略卡岛结识的美国朋友们通信，correspondent是通信员 )
