expect of/from

问

Do not expect too much from him. 不要对他期望过高。

我查了《新英汉词典》、《现代英语用法词典》、ALD和LDCE，只查到expect of，而没有查到expect from。因此，我怀疑expect from的用法是否正确。

答

expect of 与 expect from 都是正确的用法,英语学习者可以把它们看成同义表达手段。

  1. You're expecting too much of her. (ALD) 你对她的期望太高。

  2. They expected from their daily newspaper not information, but entertainment. 他们想从每日的报纸中看到的不是信息，而是娱乐内容。
