你知道這句怎么翻譯嗎？

I have not heard from him since I lived in Shanghai.

如果你翻譯成“自從我在上海居住以來，就沒有他的消息了”，那么下面的內容就是為你所寫！

一、當since引導的狀語從句的謂語動詞是瞬時動詞的過去時，則從句表示的時間是從“動作開始的那一時刻”起。

如：He has studied very hard since he came to our school.

自從來到我們學校，他學習非常刻苦。

We have been missing them since they left here.

自從他們離開這兒，我們就一直想念他們。

二、若since引導的狀語從句的謂語動詞是持續性動詞或者是表示狀態的動詞的過去時時，則從句表示的時間是從“持續動作或狀態結束的時刻”算起。

如：I haven’t heard any noise since I slept.

sleep為持續性動詞，sleep的動作結束的時候，也就是“醒來”時，所以這句話的翻譯為“我醒來后一直沒有聽到任何聲響”。

John is now with his parents in New York, it is already three years since he was a teacher.

John現在和他父母一起住在紐約，他不當教師已經三年了。

三、若since引導的狀語從句的謂語為持續性動詞的現在完成時，則表示動作和狀態延續到現在，從句的時間起點應該從“持續動作發生的時刻”算起。

如：I haven’t heard from him since he has lived there.

自從他住在那兒后，我就一直沒有他的消息了。

Since we have owned a car, we have gone camping every year.

自從我們有車后，我們每年都出去野營。

比較：

Since I've been at this school, we have had three headmasters.我到這個學校后，我們換了三個校長。

Since I was at this school, they have had three headmasters.我離開這個學校后，他們換了三個校長。

He has never been to see me since I have been ill.我生病以來，他一直沒來看過我。

He has never been to see me since I was ill.我病好后，他一直沒來看過我。

四、至于It is +一段時間+since…的句型與It has been +一段時間+since…意思相同。前者是規範說法，後者是口語說法。

應注意的是，在這種結構中，since引導的從句絕對不能用否定式的謂語動詞來表示否定意義，下面兩句都錯了：
It is a long time since he didn't study English.
It's two months since you didn't come to see me.
正確的說法爲：
It's a long time since he studied English 他好久沒學英語了。
You haven't come to see me for two months. 你有兩個月沒來看我了
