我從車里出來，穿過一道大門，沿著一條漆黑的小路前行。

(1)getoutof意為“下車”，后面通常接car,taxi等小型封閉的交通工具。

布朗先生下了汽車，走向他的辦公室。

【拓展】getoutof也表示“從……出來”。

天哪！你是怎樣從房間里出來的？【聯想】getoff也表示“下車”，后面通常接bus,plane,ship,train等大型交通工具，也可單獨使用。

Don’tgetofthebusuntilitstops.直到公共汽車停下你才能下車。

Wearegettingoffatnextstop.我們將在下一站下車。

(2)gothrough意為“穿過”，強調從內部通過。
