3. 连用名词时是否用冠词
当from?to?用于连接两个名词时,有时名词前需带有冠词,有时不用,情形比较复杂,大致遵循的原则如下：

(2) 若所搭配的名词意思比较抽象,只是在谈论一般概念或一般规律等,则不用冠词.比较：

These skills used to be handed down from father to son. 这些技术以往都是父子相传.
It is not far from the house he lived in to the house I lived in. 从他居住的房子到我居住的房子并不远.

(3) 但有时用不用冠词,与说话人的侧重点有关.比较并体会：
Then we transferredfrom a bus to a tram. 然后我们从公***汽车换成电车.
This is where we change from car to bus. 这就是我们从小汽车换乘公***汽车的地方.
(4) 在由from?to?构成的习语中,名词前通常是不用冠词的(见后面有关习语的用法归纳).如：

From (the) cradle to (the) grave, the car marks every rite of American passage. 在美国人的一生中,每一个重要阶段都有汽车的影子.
4. 关于与动名词的搭配
from?to?结构除通常与名词、代词、数词等搭配外,有时还可与动名词搭配.如：
