Far is used in negative sentences and questions about distance, but not usually in affirmative sentences. If you want to state the distance of a particular place from where you are, you can say that it is that distance away. ...Durban, which is over 300 kilometres away. If a place is very distant, you can say that it is a long way away, or that it is a long way from another place. It is a long way from London... Anna was still a long way away.
far 表示距离时用于否定句和疑问句,一般不用于肯定句。如要表示某处离得有多远,可说 ... away。例如,Durban, which is over 300 kilometres away (德班,距此超过 300 公里)。如某处距离很远,可用 a long way away 或 a long way from。例如, It is a long way from London (这儿离伦敦很远),Anna was still a long way away (安娜仍在很远的地方)。
