1
avoid a person, rule, or system
to avoid a person, rule, or system and do something in a different way from the normal way
用法パターン：
to bypass [a rule / a person / a system]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse "bypass" with "pass by". "Bypass" means to avoid something, often on purpose, usually to reach your goal more quickly (e.g., "bypass the rules"). "Pass by" usually means simply to go past something without the idea of avoiding a system or rule (e.g., "We passed by the museum").
類義語
circumvent (more formal; often used in legal, technical, or bureaucratic contexts.)
|
sidestep (slightly informal and often suggests avoiding responsibility or a difficult issue.)
対義語
obey (means to follow rules or authority rather than avoiding them.)

go around a place or obstacle
to travel around a town or thing instead of going through it
用法パターン：
to bypass [a town / an area / traffic / congestion]

類義語
go around (more informal and very general; does not strongly suggest roads or planned routes.)
対義語
go through (means to pass inside or within a town or area instead of avoiding it.)

類義語

対義語
main road (the central road, often going through the town instead of around it.)
