Likeness

框 · Frame

[A] 像 [B] 一樣 [quality / verb phrase]

觸 · Trigger

One thing you want to cast in the manner of another — same look, same behaviour as the model.

序 · The move

1name A, the thing being likenedA is the one held up; B is the model it copies

2像 + B, the model A resemblesis B a recognisable model, not just a peer being measured?

3一樣 to close the likenessis the claim resemblance in manner, not a zero-gap equality of degree?

4add the shared quality or verb phrase after 一樣does the trait hang after 一樣, never after 像?

界 · Boundary

跟…一樣

像…一樣 says A resembles B, takes on B's manner (B is a model); 跟…一樣 says A equals B with no gap on one measured quality (B is a yardstick). Resemblance vs strict equality.

比

像…一樣 says A is like B; 比 says A and B differ and names which side wins. Sameness of manner vs a ranked gap.

quality after 像: 她像高一樣他 → 她像他一樣高

negation on 像: 他不像我一樣忙 read as plain 'unlike' → 他跟我不一樣忙 for 'not equally busy'; keep 不再像…一樣 for 'no longer like'

stranded 一樣 dropped: 他像我忙 → 他像我一樣忙

English 'like B' is a single front phrase ('runs like the wind'); here B is bracketed by 像 first and closed by 一樣, and the shared trait lands last.
