【问】 Do not expect too much from him.

不要对他期望过高。

我查了《新英汉词典》、《现代英语用法词典》、ALD和LDCE，只查到expect of，而没有查到expect from。因此，我怀疑expect from的用法是否正确。

【答】 expect of与expect from都是正确的用法，英语学习者可以把它们看成同义表达手段。

1. You’re expecting too much of her. (ALD)

你对她的期望太高。

2. The whole family expects great things of him.

全家期望他会大有作为。

3. I cannot expect aid from him.

我不能指望他的帮助。

4. They expected from their daily newspaper not information，but entertainment.

他们想从每日的报纸中看到的不是信息，而是娱乐内容。

5. Don’t expect sudden improvements from this class. (LDPV)

不要指望这个班会有突然的改进。

6. What could you expect from a family like this.(EED)

像这样的家庭，你能指望什么呢?
