Definition
穿过 means 'to pass through' a physical barrier or enclosed space (e.g., a corridor, crowd, or a bullet through a jacket). Unlike 通过 (tōng guò), which is more versatile (pass a test, or 'by means of'), 穿过 is specifically about physically penetrating or going from one side to the other. It also differs from 路过 (lù guò), which means 'pass by' without entering.
