形容不同的成语有很多，比如迥然不同、截然不同、迥然有异、大相径庭、天差地别、天渊之别、判然不同、截然有异、霄壤之别、天壤之别等等，都可以用来形容不同，那么用英语如何表达不同呢？
优朗英语新概念英语培训的蓝老师说，a different ball game的意思是不同，如果要告诉别人事情与以前完全不同也可以用a different ball game。
不同的英语与表达还有另一种方式：a whole new ball game。
例句：
I've been responsible for a budget of a few thousand dollars before , but managing a budget of several million is a very different ball game .
我负责过几千美元的预算，但管理几百万美元的预算就完全不同了。
Beam at university is a whole new ball game . It's not like being at school at all .
读大学完全另外一回事，与读中学截然不同。
