[交流] confusing translation of "It has been 4 years since I smoked"

today I saw a translation by accident :
It has been 4 years since I smoked        is translated into  “  我戒烟已经四年了”。
so strange,why not “我抽烟四年了”?

hope we could talk about it and get the truth.

是“我戒烟有四年了”。

百度的解释:
since后面如果接的是短暂性动词,就是否定的意思。
eg:It has been 3 years since she got married.意思是她离婚有三年了。
如果接的是延续性动作,就是正常的理解:自从....以来已经有...年了
somke是短暂动词,为否定意义,所以翻译为“我戒烟有四年了”。

This sentence looks like very simple, but it is very easy to make a mistake.

since从句:1.如果谓语动词是延续性动词或是表示状态的动词,
时间应该从动作结束时算起;
如:It's 2 years since I smoked. 我戒烟已经两年了.
(抽烟的这个动作是延续性的)
2.如果谓语动词是非延续性动词,时间要从动作开始时算起
如:It's 2 years since I left school.
我离开学校已经两年了.
