Usage Notes

When used literally, "穿越" emphasizes the act of physically passing through a barrier or area. When used figuratively, especially in entertainment or literature, it implies moving across time or dimensions.

Be careful not to confuse "穿越" with "通过" (tōngguò), which also means "to pass through" but is more general and less often used for time travel contexts.

The tone is neutral and suitable for both formal and informal contexts.
