Avoiding Meaning in English
word · lemma: avoid
释义
Trying to stay away from someone, something, or a situation, or trying not to do something. It often means taking action so that a problem, danger, or uncomfortable situation does not happen.
用法与细微差别
Usually followed by a noun, pronoun, or '-ing' form: 'avoid traffic', 'avoid him', 'avoid talking about it'. 'Avoid' is more active than 'stay away from' and can be used for people, topics, mistakes, danger, or responsibility. Learners often incorrectly say 'avoid to do'; use 'avoid doing'.
