摘要：

In this essay, I first consider a popular view of models and modeling, the similarity view. Second, I contend that arguments for it fail and it suffers from what I call "Hughes' worry." Third, I offer a deflationary approach to models and modeling that avoids Hughes' worry and shows how scientific representations are of apiece with other types of representations. Finally, I consider an objection that the similarity view can deal with approximations better than the deflationary view and show that this is not so.
