out of context

If words are used out of context, only a small separate part of what was originally said or written is reported, with the result that their meaning is not clear or is not understood.

如果文字被out of context地使用，那么就是说只有一小部分原本的内容被报道出来，结果造成了它们的意思并不能清楚地被理解。脱离上下文，断章取义。

The reporter took my remarks completely out of context.

记者引用我的话完全是断章取义。
