VOA原文中的错误:
If you spend time friends and others in a large parking lot before a rock concert or a big game, you are still tailgating!
spend time with friends and others
--------------------
I'd like to know which of the following is correct, and if all are, what the difference is.
John is two weeks out of / from / away from / off the surgery.
--------------------
out of
This use sounds ok, but means that it has been two weeks since the surgery ended. However "the" would have to be deleted for it to sound more natural. A more common way this is said is "John has been out of surgery for two weeks"
from
This makes sense and would mean that after two more weeks, John will have the surgery
away from
See "from"
off
This doesn't really make sense.
--------------------
The correct answer is John is two weeks out of surgery. You can also simply say John had the surgery two weeks ago.
Two weeks away from surgery implies that he will have surgery in two weeks’ time.
Two weeks from/off surgery don’t work, either. To say someone is two weeks off something generally means that for two weeks, they have not been indulging in that thing:
