dif·fer·ent /ˈdɪfɚ/
(a.)不同的,有區別的,不一致的
Dif·fer·ent a.
1. Distinct; separate; not the same; other. “Five different churches.”
2. Of various or contrary nature, form, or quality; partially or totally unlike; dissimilar; as, different kinds of food or drink; different states of health; different shapes; different degrees of excellence.
Men are as different from each other, as the regions in which they are born are different. --Dryden.
