since you were young up to now taking you...的理解

问题描述

Its nature in us as human beings to support and give back where we came back from, because look at it from this angle, they’ve taken care of you since you were young up to now taking you to school. So literally it's socially acceptable or socially moral to give back to mum and dad,” he explained.

请问：since you were young up to now taking you to school 这句话结构怎么理解，感觉怪怪的。Since A to B，A和B的结构又不类似，这样可以么？

老师答疑

楚老师：

这句话不是你说的A to B结构，而是正常的since引导的时间状语从句，具体如下：

1.they’ve taken care of you是主句，since you were young是时间状语从句，since表示“自从……”，主句用现在完成时，从句用一般现在时；

2.up to now 是一个短语，“一直到现在”，也做主句的时间状语；

3.taking you to school作伴随状语；

4.这句话的大致意思是：他们从你小时候起一直到现在，就一直照顾着你，送你去学校。

希望回答能帮你解决疑惑！
