On the way 是什么意思?在路上,别与 in the way 混淆

On the way 表示在途中,也可以表示正在送来。自行车挡住门却是 in the way;by the way 又是在聊天中说“顺便一提”。

On the way 表示在前往某处的途中:I'll call you on the way home。它也可以表示正在过来、很快送到:The pizza is on the way。看起来相近的 in the way 意思不同,表示挡住去路。

想在对话中用 on the way 吗?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

on my/the way + to + place; on my way home; be on the way (= coming); be in the way (= blocking); get in the way of + noun

  • I'll pick up some bread on my way home from work.
  • Don't worry, the taxi is on the way and should be here in five minutes.
  • We stopped for lunch in a small village on the way to the coast.

修改原因

修改前I usually listen to podcasts by the way to work.

修改后I usually listen to podcasts on the way to work.

Way 可以表示道路,所以 by the way 容易被误以为描述路线。实际上它表示“顺便一提”,用来在对话中引出新话题。表达途中发生的事,要用 on the way to + 地点。其余部分不需要改。

Cambridge Dictionary

一个字母就能改变意思。On the way 表示在途中或正在赶来:Help is on the way。In the way 表示所在位置挡住了别人:Sorry, am I in the way? 比喻用法 get in the way of 表示妨碍某件事:Don't let fear get in the way of your plans。

动手练习

Could you move your bike, please? It's ___, and nobody can open the front door.

(in the way / on the way)

in the way — 自行车挡住了门,所以用 in the way。On the way 会表示自行车处在某条路线上或正在送来,但这里的问题是它挡住开门。
