    When you call something incomparable, you mean it is so good, so beautiful, or so striking that nothing else comes close — beyond compare. It is praise, and a little grand: incomparable beauty, an incomparable voice. You are not filling in a score sheet; you are saying comparison feels pointless.

    When you call something incomparable當你說某樣東西incomparable, you mean it is so good, so beautiful, or so striking that nothing else comes close意思是它好到、美到,或驚人到沒有其他東西比得上 — beyond compare無可比擬。It is praise, and a little grand這是一種讚美,而且有點誇張: incomparable beauty像incomparable beauty無可比擬的美, an incomparable voice或an incomparable voice無可比擬的嗓音。You are not filling in a score sheet你不是在填一張評分表; you are saying comparison feels pointless你是在說,比較這件事根本沒有意義。

    The word can also stay closer to its pieces: two things are incomparable when they are not the same kind of thing, so it is unfair or impossible to rank them.

    The word can also stay closer to its pieces這個字也可以貼近它的字面意思: two things are incomparable when they are not the same kind of thing如果兩樣東西根本不是同一類的東西,那它們就是incomparable, so it is unfair or impossible to rank them因為要排名比較,是不公平或不可能的。

    In careful talk some people even move the stress (in-COM-parable for “cannot be compared,” incom-PAR-able for “”). Though actually, most speakers do not fuss over that, and the “extremely good” reading is the one you will meet in ads, reviews, and love letters.

    In careful talk some people even move the stress在講究的說法裡,有些人甚至會移動重音位置 (in-COM-parable for "cannot be compared,"(in-COM-parable表示「無法比較」, incom-PAR-able for "matchless").incom-PAR-able表示「無與倫比」)。Though actually不過其實, most speakers do not fuss over that大部分說話的人不會在意這麼細, and the "extremely good" reading is the one you will meet in ads, reviews, and love letters你在廣告、評論和情書裡遇到的,通常都是「好到極點」這個意思。

    Do not say more incomparable; the word is already at the top.

    Do not say不要說 more incomparablemore incomparable更無與倫比; the word is already at the top這個字本身已經是最高級了。
