237. 我从小就认识他。


[误] I have known him since a child.


[正] I have known him from a child.


. I have known him since his childhood.


:从过去某一时期到现在为止,英语要用现在完成时态,介词就用 since,但有时不说“迄”(till)也可以说“起”(from)的,即用“from + 普通名词”代替“since + 抽象名词”。但在 from 后也同样可接抽象名词,所以不说 He has been blind since childhood,而说 He has been blind from childhood. 也是一样。
