词义辨析:
far from和far away from的区别:
far from除表示距离的"远离"之外,还有"远远不","完全不";"决非"之意;后接名词、动名词或形容词。而far away from则表示"远离(某地、某人等)"。far from的用法比far away from更丰富一些。当far away from意为"远离",只表示距离,away可省去。
例句:
The factory is far (away) from his home.
工厂离他家很远。
He is far from a fool.
他一点也不傻。
Far from helping him, you have just made it worse.
你不仅没有帮上他,反倒使情况更糟糕。(此far是形容词意为远的;遥远的;久远的)
She walked in, looking far from happy.
她走了进来,看上去一点也不高兴。
