区分/辨别（动）使出众/脱颖而出（动，接反身代词）
陷阱
⚠️distinguish A from B（介词用 from，不用 between 或 with）
What distinguishes this design from others is its simplicity.
✗
用 distinguish A between B 或 distinguish A with B
✓
distinguish A from B 是固定结构，介词必须用 from；「区分A与B」的另一结构是 distinguish between A and B（均可），但不能混搭成 distinguish A between B
这个设计区别于其他设计的，正是它的简洁性。
⚠️distinguish oneself（使自己出众）不等于 distinguish yourself（同义，但语境需注意）
✗
He tried to distinguish himself from his peers by working longer hours.
他试图通过工作更长时间来使自己比同龄人更出色。
此句实际合法——distinguish oneself from sb. = 使自己与……不同/超越……；但若想强调「脱颖而出/出类拔萃」，不必加 from，直接 distinguish oneself（in a field）即可
✓
He distinguished himself by producing original research that challenged conventional thinking.
他通过发表挑战传统思维的原创研究而脱颖而出。

✓ 正确版本
