How it's used
Use this to describe skipping over content, such as chapters in a book, tracks on a playlist, or parts of a conversation. It implies a deliberate choice to bypass something that is otherwise in sequence. When talking about skipping over a physical obstacle, use 跳過 as well, but it often carries a sense of agility or intentional avoidance.
