the beaten path

1 Nowadays novelists aim at novelty either in subject or in style, instead of following the beaten path of conventionality.

近来,小说家在题材上或文体上追求新奇而不走传统老路.

2 The beaten path is the safest, but traffic's terrible.

人多的道路最安全, 但是壅塞难行.

3 Like any good fishing spot, this place is obscure and off the beaten path.

像其他好的钓鱼方式一样, 这也是一种鲜为人知、另辟蹊径的钓鱼方式.
