听说

• hear/ hear of/ hear from
  
  
  Ⅰ. hear “听见”指听力，强调听的结果。如：
  
  ① I often hear Lucy sing in the next room.
  
  Ⅱ. hear of “听说”强调间接听到有关某人的情况或得到消息。有时可用about 代替of，意义无多大的区别。如：
  
  ① We are all glad to hear of your success. 听到你成功的消息，我们都很高兴。
  
  ② Have you heard of her lately? 你最近听到她什么情况吗？
  
  Ⅲ. hear from “接到……的来信（电话等）”如：
  
  ① Hope to hear from you soon. 希望你早点来信。
  
  ② We have not heard from him since he left. 自从他离开后，我们一直没有收到他的来信。

hear/hear of/hear from

I hear that they miss us very much.我听说他们很想念我们。
Have you ever heard of Edison?你听说过爱迪生的故事吗？
have you heard from Joan recently?最近你收到过琼的来信吗？
<辨析>hear 和 hear of 都可解作“听说”，hear 后面接宾语从句，hear of 后面接名词、代词或动名词。hear 还可作“听见，听到”解，后面可接名词、代词+不带 to 的不定式（或分词）复合结构。试比较：
I heard him just now.我刚才听到他说话。
I've heard of him.我听人提到过他。
I heard him singing in the next room.我听见他在隔壁房间里唱歌。
I heard that he was shinging in the next room.我听说他在隔壁房间里唱歌。
heard from 意为“收到......的信”，“得到......消息”。
注意：hear from 的宾语应该是“人”，而不是“信”。试译：
我们好几个星期未收到他的信了。
误：We haven't heard from his letter for weeks.
正：We haven't heard from him for weeks.
