One of the ways to express distance is to use "离"(lí).
Structure:
Place1 + 离 + Place2 + Adverb + 近/远
So this pattern is normally used to simply express that one place is (not) close or (not) far from another place.
Examples:
Měiɡuó lí zhōnɡɡuó hěn yuǎn.
美国 离 中国 很 远。
美国 离 中国 很 远。
America is far from China.
Nǐ lí wǒ yuǎn diǎn.
你 离 我 远 点。
你 离 我 远 点。
Distance yourself from me further.
Note that the final example is a command, and a commonly heard line. The sentence means "distance yourself from me further," in other words, "stay away from me" or "don’t come near me."
