② I have known him for more than ten years. 我认识他有十多年了。
③ I know him by sight but have never spoken to him. 我认识他是谁，但从没有和他谈过话。

<辨析>know 意为“认识”，可以表示认识或熟悉某人，也可以只表示认识某人是谁（即认识某人是什么样子），它不仅可以用于人，也可以用于地方等。recognize 意为“认得出”，表示能认出曾见过或原来认识的人或物。应注意：recognize 是终止性动词，其完成时不能同表示一段时间的状语连用。试译：我认识他已经三年了。误：I have recognized him for three years.正：I have known him for three years.
