Off the beaten track 表示不在常见路线之上,远离游客通常前往的地方。它常描述安静、少有人知的地点,通常带有赞赏,强调能看到当地生活,而不只是纪念品商店。语气中性,适用于交谈和雅思旅游话题作文。美式英语更常说 off the beaten path。

修改原因
修改前We stayed in a small village out of the beaten track.
修改后We stayed in a small village off the beaten track.
想到“在外面、远离”时,容易选 out of。但这个习语固定用 off,表示偏离某处,类似 off the main road。原句应把 out of 改成 off。
Off the beaten track 通常是在称赞一个地方安静、有当地特色。In the middle of nowhere 表示远离一切,更多时候是在抱怨:The hotel was in the middle of nowhere, and there wasn't even a shop nearby。
动手练习
