 ♣ away, off
　这两个词的共同意思是“离开”，在blaze, brush, clear, crawl, file, go, make, ride, roll, run, rush, send, set, start, swim, walk, wave等动词之后可换用，意思上没有多大差别。其区别是：
1. 在含义上：away表示“距离”(distance), off表示“分开”(separation)。away强调“不在本地”(not here), off强调到“另一地方”(from one point to another)。试比较以下两句：

2. away和off有时在作一种意义解时可互换，而作另一种意义解时则不能换用。例如：


3. away只作副词，而off除作副词外，还可用作介词。例如：
　Keep off the grass.　匆踏草地！
 ♣ 下面三个句子意思不同：

1. 在美国口语中， away常后接back, behind, down, up等副词以加强语气。例如：
　America was discovered away back in the 15 century.　美洲早在15世纪就被发现了。
　I knew him away back in 1949.　我早在1949年就认识他了。
　Away back in 1910, the great poet died.　那位伟大的诗人早在1910年就死了。
2. away有时可用于无动词祈使句的句首，意为“去掉”“走开”。例如：
　Away with you!　滚开！去你的吧！
　Away with the thief!　把小偷带走！
　Away with it!　把它拿走！
　Away with care.　不用焦虑。
3. away虽为副词，但因其含有动词的意义，故俗语中有时句中的be, go等动词可省略。例如：
　I must away.(=I must go away.)　我必须走了。
　The order was given and he away.(=he was away.)　命令下达后他离开了。
4. 美式英语中短语有from away (=from a distance从远处），其中away位于介词from之后，可看作名词。
