※ 引述《stukpe (風)》之銘言：
: 查了文馨的字典
: The poster fell down. 海報掉下來了
: My hat fell off. 我的帽子掉下來了
: 想問一下,為何一個用down,一個用off,是否兩個都可以用down或者都用off呢?
: The boy fell off the bicycle. 男孩從腳踏車上摔下來
: The blossoms are falling from the tree. 花正從樹上掉下來
: 兩個都有從..掉落意思，為何一個用off,一個用from呢?
: The boy fell off the bicycle. 這句可不可以用from呢?
: 不過我好像看過的都是用off
從字義來看，down動力偏向下，from 偏離心，off偏脫離。不過搭配不同的情境，會產
生不同的結果，這就需要更細的比對，你可以多花時間尋找實際運用的情形觀察，相信會
有許多收穫。因為你的問題涵蓋甚廣，這裡只能縮小到你舉的bike的上下文情境初步比較
一下 fall down/from/off the bike。以搭配的頻率而言
fall off the bike [1][2][3][4][5] > fall from the bike [6][7] ，而 fall down
至少在以下知名的刊物沒有找到符合的例子，也許對此用法在此情境要持保留的態度。
所以你說看過都是用fall off the bike也是因為搭配頻率的緣故。
