註：完整句子應為 I like her better than I like him.為了避免誤解，可以不用省略句構，或改作 I like her better than I do him.。
2. 我比她更喜歡跳舞。
ˇ I like dancing more than she does (= more than she likes dancing).

χ I like dancing more than her.
註：這裏she是like的主詞，應該用主格。
3. 她和他一樣高。
ˇ She is as tall as he.
χ She is as tall as him.
註：按傳統文法，第一個as是副詞，第二個as是連接詞，所連接的兩個句子是She is as tall和he is tall，所以he應用主格。
*在現代英語裡，第二個句子並不算錯，但在正式的寫作還是用主格為宜。
4. 我一點都不像她。
ˇ I am not at all like her.
χ I am not at all like she.
註：like作「像」解是介詞，後面的代名詞應該用受格。
5. 像他這樣的孩子不應任由他在外面隨便玩樂。
ˇ Such a boy as he should not be allowed to run loose.
ˇ(χ)* Such a boy as him should not be allowed to run loose.
註：as後面代名詞的格應與such a boy保持一致。boy為主格，因此應用he，不能用him。現更普遍的用法是Such a boy as that...，以that代替代名詞he或she，這樣的句子暗示此boy不是好孩子。
* 在現代英語中亦常出現，故不算全錯。

When people think of Spain, they often picture bullfights and flamenco—but there’s another celebration you shouldn’t miss. Every March, Valencia comes alive with “Las Fallas.” Its origins go back centuries to when carpenters burned wooden scraps they no longer needed to welcome spring as winter ended. Over time, the custom evolved from bonfires to giant street sculptures called fallas. This tradition has since developed into a UNESCO-recognized event that attracts millions of visitors. This festival centers on the ritual burning of falla monuments. Each monument is made up of several ninots: giant puppets that are crafted all year by local artists.

Heavy rain brought by Typhoon Ragasa caused the barrier lake above Matai’an Creek in Hualien’s Guangfu Township to overflow on Sept. 23 of last year. The sudden rush of water and mud destroyed a major bridge and swept through nearby villages, leaving significant damage in its wake. The barrier lake was formed in July, when heavy rain caused landslides and blocked the creek’s natural flow. As rainwater built up, the lake grew increasingly unstable. When Typhoon Ragasa hit, the water level rose rapidly and finally overflowed. In the aftermath, volunteers across Taiwan, known as “shovel supermen,” stepped in
