bypass vs avoid
「bypass」強調繞過或避開某個障礙、程序或地點，通常有具體的替代路徑或方法；「avoid」則泛指避開、躲避任何不想要的人、事、物或情況，範圍較廣。
bypass vs ignore
「bypass」是採取行動繞過或規避某事物以繼續進行；「ignore」則是選擇不注意、不理會或忽視某事物的存在或訊息。
bypass vs circumvent
「bypass」和「circumvent」意思非常接近，常可互換，都指繞過或規避。但「circumvent」更常帶有使用巧計、鑽漏洞以規避規則、法律或限制的負面含義。

×We need to find a bypass for the traffic jam.
✓We need to bypass the traffic jam.
誤將名詞 'bypass' 當作動詞使用。此處應使用動詞 'bypass' 表示『繞過』的動作，而非名詞『旁路』。
×We can bypass around the security check.
✓We can bypass the security check.
動詞 'bypass' 本身已包含『繞過』的含義，無需再加 'around'，否則語意重複。
×To save time, we decided to bypass.
✓To save time, we decided to bypass the city center.
及物動詞 'bypass' 通常需要一個受詞（即被繞過的事物），句子意思才完整。
×They bypassed the problem yesterday.
✓They bypassed the problem yesterday.
此為正確形式。'bypass' 是規則動詞，過去式與過去分詞為 'bypassed'。常見錯誤是誤以為它是不規則動詞而寫成 'bypast' 等。
×I bypassed the supermarket on my way home.
✓I passed by the supermarket on my way home.
混淆 'bypass' 與 'pass by'。'bypass' 強調『故意避開、繞道以不經過』；'pass by' 僅表示『經過…旁邊』，沒有刻意避開的意圖。
×We need to by-pass the firewall.
✓We need to bypass the firewall.
'bypass' 作為動詞（或名詞）時，現代標準英語中通常寫成一個單字，不加連字號。連字號寫法 'by-pass' 已較為少見。
