adv.(副词)away是表示方位的副词,其基本意思是“离开”。用在动词或短语动词之后表示与“离开”有关的各种不同的意思。可以表示“离开”的状态,也可表示“离开”的动作。
除用于动词之后组成短语动词的情况之外, away在句中主要用作状语、表语或补语。偶尔也可用作定语,这时必须前置而不可后置。
away不用于比较等级。
在美国口语中, away常后接back, behind, down, up等副词以加强语气。例如:America was discovered away back in the 15 century.美洲早在15世纪就被发现了。

away有时可用于无动词祈使句的句首,意为“去掉”“走开”。例如:Away with you!滚开!去你的吧!Away with the thief!把小偷带走!Away with it!把它拿走!Away with care.不用焦虑。
away虽为副词,但因其含有动词的意义,故俗语中有时句中的be, go等动词可省略。例如:I must away.(=I must go away.)我必须走了。The order was given and he away.(=he was away.)命令下达后他离开了。
美式英语中短语有from away (=from a distance 从远处),其中away位于介词from之后,可看作名词。
