中式英語之鑑:我從小就認識他

237. 我從小就認識他。

ing-bottom: 56.25%;">

[誤] I have known him since a child.

[正] I have known him from a child.

. I have known him since his childhood.

注：從過去某一時期到現在爲止，英語要用現在完成時態，介詞就用 since，但有時不說“迄”（till）也可以說“起”（from）的，即用“from + 普通名詞”代替“since + 抽象名詞”。但在 from 後也同樣可接抽象名詞，所以不說 He has been blind since childhood，而說 He has been blind from childhood. 也是一樣。
