标题[请益] 论坛中,外国网友对 compared with的回应

各位好,请教一下
在英语论坛提了一个问题
https://goo.gl/Kkd4Um
-----------
我说:
牛津高阶辞典有这样一个例句:
https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/with?q=with
It's much easier compared with last time.
这句意思是不是等於:
It's much easier (when it is) compared with last time
-----------
网友GoesStation回应:
No. You could add "as" or "when" between the clauses, but "when it is" has a
different meaning.
----------
我回应:
But how about this? For example:
When the test is compared with last time, it's much easier.
→ It's much easier (when the test is) compared with last time.
→ It's much easier compared with last time.
----------
网友Raymott回应:
Yes, they mean the same thing if what you mean is "This test is easier than
the last one."
I think GS's objection is that the latter test doesn't become easy when, and
only when, it is compared to the last test.
It will always be easier.
The dictionary example is colloquial.
-----------
想请问一下Raymott的意思,从第二段开始我不太懂:
我的翻译:
我认为GS反对的意思是,後面那次测验没有变得容易,
当(也只有当)它和前面的(上一次)测验相比时。(注:?)
它将一直变得容易。(注:?)
这句辞典的例句是口语化的例句。(注:口语化的例句?这意味着什麽意思?)
以上请教,谢谢。
