【区别】
familiar to 和 familiar with 的区别在于用法不一样，具体如下：
【be familiar with】一般是指某人熟悉某人、某物：
例句：
1、He does not seem to be familiar with research which might have strengthened his own arguments. 他对那些本可以为他的观点提供佐证的研究似乎并不熟悉。
2、His fans would already be familiar with Caroline 他的崇拜者们肯定已经很熟悉卡罗琳了。
【be familiar to】 则是某物、某事为某人所熟悉：
例句：
The name seems familiar to me 相当于I seem familiar with the name.这个名字我似乎是很熟悉的.
be familiar with 与 be familiar to
的区别不在于“主动”相对“被动”.
be familiar with sth 的意思是 对某东西有知识（熟悉某东西）
sth/sb is familiar to A 意思是A对某事/某人有知识,
把第二句译为 “被 A 熟悉”（即“被动语态”）是不完全正确的.
需要注意,第一句的宾语必须是无生命的物体（事情）
即不能用于“人”
我们能说 I am familiar with it/the subject/the matter/what he does
但不能说 I am familiar with him/her/me, ...
第二句的主语可以是“人”或“事情”,
因此,两个短语很明显地没有“主动”与“被动”的关系.
看一看下面例句：
I am quite familiar with what happened yesterday.
What happened yesterday is quite familiar to me.
两个句子意思都相等于
I have some knowledge of what happened yesterday
但两者的区别不是主动与被动,而是 what happened 作为主语与作为宾语的不同表达方式.
