有时候，已经养成的习惯或常规变得不再有用、效果不佳或产生消极的影响。当某人想 “改掉习惯或打破常规，尝试一些新的事情” 时，就可以使用 “break one's routine” 这个表达。
- I need to break my routine of going to the supermarket every day and start doing one big shop for the week.
我需要打破每天都去超市的习惯，开始变成一次买够一周的东西。 - She decided to break the routine of getting up late so that she could get more done in the mornings.
她决定改掉晚起的习惯，这样她早上就能做更多的事情。 - I don't think the way he's studying is working. He needs to break his routine of revising at night.
我认为他的学习方式不奏效。他需要改变他夜里复习的习惯。
