Out of the way Meaning in English
expression
释义
Used to describe something that is not blocking movement, or a place that is remote or difficult to get to. Can also mean something unusual or unexpected.
用法与细微差别
Commonly used for both physical positioning (objects, people) and locations (remote places). Informal and often in speech. Less often, can describe something odd or unusual (‘out-of-the-way’ ideas). Avoid literal translations—use one that fits context. Collocations: 'get something out of the way' (finish something), 'an out-of-the-way place' (remote).
