get in sb's way


文句

S***, please get rid of this goofy situation. Stop changing the default virtual keyboard to your own with this horrible effect. Let the user change the keyboard and keep it changed, even with a physical keyboard connected. This is a case of getting in the user's way without a need to do so, so stop it.

解釋

goofy (形)  愚蠢的
default (形)  預設的
virtual (形)  虛擬的
physical (形) 實質的
getting in the user's way  妨礙使用者

"virtual" 這個字彙很有意思；它不只是意味著 "虛擬"；卻同時也代表相反的意思： "實質的；實際的"。一個字能同時存有相斥、互駁的涵義實在不多見。但在科技方面，百分之九十，將它視為 "虛擬"解，八成不會有誤。
