It turns out that while the US is totally out of whack, things are actually way worse for the planet as a whole. 請問當中的way是甚麼意思 怎麼用法?

It turns out that while the US is totally out of whack, things are actually way worse for the planet as a whole.
事實證明，當美國完全出狀況時，事態對地球全體實際是遭透了。

1.) way 當副詞時，意思是 very far; by a large amount
I must be going home; it's way past my bedtime.
This skirt is way (= a lot) too short.

2.) way 接形容詞，如版大原句，則是 very or much 的意思
way worse = much worse
Things just got way difficult. (very difficult)

way在這裡的意思是描述極大的距離。 “Way worse” = 差得多；worse = 更差；way=多多。
way的這種用法是非正式的用法，或俚語用法；意思是“非常”，或是“有很大的差距/太(差，好，貴，早...）”

壞方法way worse;
eg:-US has the "worse way" approach with this method, even out of whacking.
eg:-The way to do this thing is considered as a "way worse" approach for the whole US.
