It has been two years since I was in this university.
为什么这句话不是翻译为“我上大学已经有两年了”?
如果要表达“我上大学已经有两年了”,是不是应该说:
It has been two years since I have been in this university.
Since 引导时间状语从句
(1) 若since引导的状语从句的谓语动词是终止性动词(如go,come,leave,start,begin等)的过去时,则从句表示的时间是“从该动作开始的那一时刻起”。这是最常见的一种用法。如:
He has studied very hard since he came to our school.
自从来到我们学校,他学习就非常努力。
Great changes have taken place in our school since you left.
自从你离开这里,我们学校发生了很大的变化。
(2) 若since引导的状语从句的谓语动词是持续性动词或表示状态的静态动词(如live,stay,study,learn,smoke,be等)的过去时,则从句表示的时间是“从该动作或状态的完成或结束时算起”。如:
I haven’t heard from him since he lived here.
这句话应译为:从他不住这儿起,我一直没有收到他的信。
I haven’t eaten snakes since I was a student at school.
was表示状态,因此该句可理解为:
I haven’t eaten snakes since I left school.
自从我毕业后就一直没吃过蛇。
试比较:
He has written to me frequently since I was ill.
自从我病愈以来,他经常给我写信。(从句谓语为状态动词)
He has written to me frequently since I fell ill.
自从我生病以来,他经常给我写信。(从句谓语为终止性动词)
(3) 若since引导的状语从句的谓语为持续性动词或静态动词的现在完成时,则表示动作和状态延续到现在(说话时刻),其表示的时间的起点应从动作发生之时算起。如:
He has written to me frequently since I have been ill.
这里have been ill表示状态的持续性,时间的起点应从:“开始生病”时算起。因此此句可理解为:“自从我生病以来,他经常给我写信。”
试比较:
I’ve written her 20 letters since I have been here.
自从我来到这,我已经给她写了20封信。(从开始算起)
I’ve written her 20 letters since I was here.
自从我离开这儿,我已经给她写了20封信。(从结束算起)
(4) It is + 段时间+ since... / It has been + 段时间+ since...表示“从„„起已有多长时间了”。两句型意思相同,前者是规范说法,后者是口语说法。
用法:since从句中常用一般过去时,若从句中是持续性动词的一般过去时,则表示该动作结束有多长时间了。如:
It is three years since he smoked.
他不吸烟已有3年了。
试比较:
It is three years since he began to smoke.
It is three years since he has smoked.
两句均意为:他吸烟已有3年了。
注意:在这种结构中,since引导的从句绝对不能用否定式的谓语动词来表示否定意义,
试比较:
他好久没学汉语了。
误:It is a long time since be didn’t study Chinese.
正:It’s a long time since he studied Chinese.
(studied为持续性动词,应从其动作结束时算起)(引自百度)

since作连词引导时间状语从句的用法。

He has studied very hard since he came to our school.
自从他来到我们学校,学习就非常努力。
【2】若since引导的状语从句的谓语动词是持续性动词或表示状态的动词的过去时,则从句表示的时间是“从那个持续动作或状态结束时算起”。
