段落展开之比较及对照 (Comparison and contrast) 发展段落的另一种方式是比较和对照。在写作中，对两件事情的类似或相同的方面的相比，称为类比；对不同的，甚至相反的方面的相比，称为对照。请看以下短文： Today, in Britain there are still some differences in status between men and women. Many employers like to hire men rather than women. The average working woman is likely to earn only about half what a man earns for the same job.

Only a quarter of all university students are women, and the majority are men. At present boys schools are still much better than girls schools. ;Paris and Washington differ in age and population. The French city is over 2,000 years old. In contrast, Washington is less than 200 years old. The population of Paris is more than 2,500,000.

The president of France lives in the Elysee Palace. Likewise, the president of the United States lives in the White House. Second, the two cities look similar. Many of the buildings and monuments in Washington are symmetrically located in view of one another, just as they are in Paris. Both cities are also the sites of magnificent monuments, important historical landmarks, fine museums, beautiful parks, and broad, tree-lined avenues.
