tell ．．． from; tell ．．． between

tell ．．． from; tell ．．． between

  二者均为习惯用法：tell A from B意为“区分A和B”，也可以说成tell the difference between A and B。如：

Can you tell American English from British English﹖         你能分辨出美国英语和英国英语吗？

To tell the truth, I really can’t tell the differences between the Maori and American Indians．       

老实说，我真的分不清毛利人和印第安人。
