三、out of用法的注意点
Ⅰ.正确理解“from+out of+名词”的意义：
1. We should remove the device from out of the room at once.我们应该立即搬到室外的那个装置.
这里,介词短语“out of+名词”又作介词from的宾语.上句原意是：我们应该立即把这个装置从室外搬走.遇到这种“from+out of+名词”的词组,首先把“out of+名词”理解为“……外”,并作为一个整体概念来看待,然后早套上from（从）的意思即行.再如：
2. He is from out of town. 他是城外人.
先把out of town理解为一个整体概念,即“城外”,然后套上from（从……）含义 ,故全句也可译为：他住在城外.
Ⅱ.根据有无其反义词in,into的搭配关系来选择和判断out of的含义.例如：
1. This plant is in town.这个工厂在城里.
That plant is out of town.那个工厂在城外.
2. They are in danger.他们处境危险.
He is out of danger.他已脱险.
3. This kind machine comes into fashion.这种机器正风行一时.
That kind of machine came out of fashion.那种记起不风行了（或“过时了”）.
4. We talked him into making these experiments.我们劝说他做这些实验.
They talked him out of making these experiments.他们劝说他别做这些实验.
注：这种方法只能帮助我们选择out of 在句中的具体意义,而不能认为任何out of用法都有 in,into作其反义词.
Ⅲ.注意out of question和out of the question词义差别很大：
1. This is out of question an example of an important principle that applies to all machines.（作状语）这毫无疑问是适用于一切机械的一个重要原理的举例.
2. In the first instance, increasing the temperature is out of the question.（起形容词作用,作表语）在第一种情况下,提高温度是不可能的.
