be synonymous with

We know that a "synonym" is a word that has the same meaning as another, and "synonymous" is the adjective form. For example, "mad" and "angry" are more or less synonymous. But when we say that two things –not words– are synonymous, it means they're very closely connected or associated in people's minds. 我们知道synonym是指同义词，synonymous是形容词形式。比如mad(非常愤怒的)和angry(生气)就是一组同义词。但当我们说两件事（不是两个单词）是synonymous时，表示在人们看来这两件事是紧密相关的。 For example, "Paris is synonymous with romance and art." We could rephrase this by saying this: "When people think of Paris, they think of romance and art." It's often used when talking about famous places, companies or people. 例如，Paris is synonymous with romance and art.（巴黎是浪漫和艺术的代名词。）我们也可以这样说，When people think of Paris, they think of romance and art（当人们提到巴黎，他们就会想到浪漫和艺术）。此短语经常用于谈论著名的地方、公司或人物。 When we use "synonymous" in this way, we say "be+synonymous+with." It's possible to use the two nouns in comparison before the phrase "be synonymous," but we generally still use "with" followed by the pronoun "each/one other" (Romance and Paris are synonymous with each other). 当在这种语境下使用synonymous时，常用结构是be+synonymous+with。如果要把两个名词加在be symonymous前来作比较，通常会在with后加个代词each/one other。 比如：Romance and Paris are synonymous with each other（浪漫是巴黎的代名词）。
