stand in our way點解?

直譯其實也能大概了解此句的含意 ：

「...站在我們的路上。」

**其意就是阻擋我們前進之阻礙，但留意此文法帶有負面意識。

例句(a)：

「Your laziness is standing in our way!」

「你的懶惰阻礙了我們的進度!」

例句(b)：

「I can do this job a lot faster, if you are not standing in the way!」

「如你不阻礙我的話，我能更快完成這工作。」

if someone or something stands in your way, of course, 阻住.

But it doesn't have to mean something or someone really physically standing in your way.

It may mean something or someone is in your way, therefore, you cannot do or finish what you want to do.

E.g. I would have finished already if you were not standing in my way.
or
I would have finished already if you were not in my way.

阻擋

即係好似有人企o係度block住你咁, 引申為阻擋既意思。

擋住我條路!!
