一般情況下,描述「從某處被移開」使用 removed from,若需強調「被移開是為了做某事」則可考慮 removed to do。

removed vs eliminated
「removed」側重於將某物從特定位置或群體中移開;「eliminated」則強調完全根除、消滅或淘汰,使其不再構成問題或存在。

EN:So she just goes, "Yeah, I removed my name from the list last minute."

×I removed the stain from my shirt.
✓I removed the stain from my shirt.
This is actually correct. The common mistake is thinking 'removed' is wrong here because learners often confuse it with 'removed' being only for formal/large objects. 'Removed' is correct for any object being taken away.
×He removed out the trash.
✓He took out the trash. / He removed the trash.
'Remove' is a transitive verb and does not need the preposition 'out'. 'Take out' is a phrasal verb for this context. Use 'remove' directly with the object.
×I will remove my shoes when I enter the house.
✓I will take off my shoes when I enter the house.
While 'remove' is grammatically correct, it sounds overly formal or clinical for everyday actions like clothing. 'Take off' (clothes, shoes, glasses) or 'put away' (items) are more natural collocations.
×They removed him from the team because he is not good.
✓They removed him from the team because he was not performing well.
The mistake is in the reason clause. Using the simple present 'is' states a permanent fact. For a specific past decision, use the past tense or a more descriptive phrase like 'was not performing well' to match the past action of 'removed'.
×This software update removed many bugs.
✓This software update fixed many bugs.
'Remove' is literal (to take away a physical thing). For abstract problems like software bugs, 'fix', 'resolve', or 'eliminate' are more accurate and common. 'Remove' might be used for a specific harmful file or code module.
×I am removing to a new apartment next month.
✓I am moving to a new apartment next month.
'Remove' means to take something away. For changing one's residence, the correct verb is 'move' (搬家). 'Remove' cannot be used intransitively to mean 'relocate oneself'.
