动词digress的含义是“跑题、离题、偏离主题”。

“跑题”已经有宾语“题”，所以digress肯定是不及物动词，如

【例句1】But I digress. To get back to what I was saying, this poem reflects the poet's love of nature and his religious beliefs. (但我跑题了。回到我刚才说的，这首诗反映了诗人对自然的热爱和他的宗教信仰。) [剑桥高级学者辞典]

可以用加修饰状语，如

【例句2】Do you mind if I digress for a moment? （你介意我跑一会儿题吗？）[朗文当代英语词典]

【例句3】To digress for a moment, I would like to remind you that there will be no classes next week. (插一句话，我想提醒你下周没课。)[牛津高级学者辞典]

【例句4】I've digressed a little to explain the situation so far, so let me now recap. (为了解释到目前为止的情况，我稍微偏离了主题，现在让我来总结一下。) [柯林斯高级学者辞典]

可用from补充所偏离的主题，

【例句5】The lecturer temporarily digressed from her subject to deal with a related theory. (讲解人暂时偏离了主题，转而探讨一个相关的理论。) [剑桥高级学者辞典]

【例句6】She digressed from her prepared speech to pay tribute to the President.（她偏离了事先准备好的演讲，向总统致敬。）[柯林斯高级学者辞典]

digress源自拉丁语digressus，后者是动词digredi的过去分词。digredi的di-（dis-）含义为apart, aside。gredi的含义是to step, go。所以digress的本义是“跑到一边”。

注意拼写是digress，不是disgress。

从digress派生了形容词digressive和名词digression。也有说digress是对digression的逆向构词。
