Doorway Meaning in English

word

/ˈdɔɹˌweɪ/
DOR-way
/dˈɔːweɪ/
DAW-way

释义

The space within a door frame; the entrance or opening where a door is usually placed.

用法与细微差别

Usually refers specifically to the open space rather than the door itself. Used in both physical (literal) and metaphorical (opportunity or transition) senses. Common phrases: 'stand in the doorway', 'block the doorway'. Not the same as 'threshold' (which means the bottom part you step over).
