far (away) 後不接賓語;far (away) from 後壹定要接賓語。
The do not live far away.
他們住得並不遠.
far from除了表示距離的”遠離”之外,還有”遠遠不,完全不,決非”之意,後接名詞,動名詞或形容詞.
Far from reading his letter,she didn't openit.
別說看他的信了,她連信都沒打開.
He is far from (being)rich.
他壹點也不富有.
至於away from 與far from的區別主要在於far與away的區別:
far是表示較籠統、模糊概念的“遠”,而away是表示具體的“遠”。如:very far很遠;quite far相當遠; 500 meters away 500米遠; 2 kilometers away 2公裏遠
e.g. My home is very far from the hospital.
My home is 20 kilometers away from the hospital.
