注意：

1.be different常接介词from、to或than,在英语中常用different to,在美语中有时用

different than,而different from英美都用。在口语中, different from有时可接从句。

She is quite a different girl _________she was five years ago.

A. from B. to C. than D. with

一般说来，若两个比较的对象是名词、代词或状语短语等，则用different from [to, than] 均可(尽管有普通与不普通之分，有英国英语与美国英语之别)。 但是若提出来供比较的对象是一个没有引导词的句子，则通常只用 different than。注意上题就是这种情况。又如：

Schools are different than they used to be. 学校与原来不一样了。

顺便说一句，若是一个以 what 引导的从句，则可以用 from或 to。比较：

She is quite different from [to] what we thought.

＝She is quite different than we thought. 她跟我们原来想象的大不一样。

所以，最佳的答案应是C。

She looked different than I'd expected.

她看上去与我想象的不一样。

2.different在肯定句中可用very修饰,在否定句中则用much修饰。表示否定时用no修饰different比用not否定的语气强,后者只指“相同”,而前者则强调“一模一样”“毫无差别”。
