Relatively & Comparatively
What's the difference between "relatively" and "comparatively"?
I looked up the definitions in the dictionary and it says that "relatively"means to a certain degree, especially when compared with other things of the same kind; "comparatively" is that you are judging something against a previous or different situation.
But I still don't understand the difference.
Can these two words be replaced each other?

Yes, in many situations either word can be used without changing the meaning. One difference is that “relatively,” like 比较,can be used without identifying a specific thing to compare against. 比如说, “他比较高” means he is relatively tall — not relative to a specific person, but to people on average. With “comparatively,” in contrast, there almost always is a specific thing that is being compared against.
