【易混淆字】bring、take、get、fetch、carry這些容易混淆的動詞到底怎麼用?
bring, take, get, fetch, carry都有拿的意思,他們的用法有何區別呢?
讓Engoo小編告訴你!首先我們可以將以上五個單字簡單區分成三大類,
分別是bring/take、fetch/get、carry:
1. bring/take
bring 和 take 是反義詞,他們之間最大的不同是「方向」,
以說話者為準,bring 表示從別處把某人或物「帶來」或「拿來」,
take 則指把某人或物「帶走」或「拿走(到別處)」。
Don’t forget to bring some food to the party at my house.
來參加我家派對時別忘了帶一些食物過來。
The policeman brought the children home.
那個警察把孩子們帶回家了。
Don't forget to take your wallet.
別忘了帶走你的錢包。
Can you take me to this address?
你可以帶我去這個地方嗎?
【補充】
如果在後面接上 out,則 bring out 和 take out 則有相同的意思,表示拿出來。例:
John took/brought/got out his laptop and searched the book on the Internet.
John拿出筆電,並在網路上搜尋這本書。
2. fetch/get
fetch 和 get 在語意上意思相近,都有到別處把某物或某人帶來的意思,
相當於go and bring的意思,fetch為英式而get則是美式口語常見的用法。
Shall I get/fetch you your homework from home?
要不要我幫你從家裡帶作業來?
It’s time to get/fetch our children from their cram school.
去補習班接孩子的時間到了。
【補充】
雖然 fetch 和 get 都已經包含 go 的意思,
但是口語上go and get/fetch 這類用法還是很常見,例:
Go and get your paper. 去把你的論文拿來。
Let’s go and fetch some snacks. 我們去拿一些點心吧!
3. carry
carry 則是指隨身攜帶,在中文意義上有搬、提、拿、扛、抬、抱、背、帶等等解釋,
但是並沒有具體說明來去的方向,有時carry也帶有沉重或麻煩的意思。
The soldier carried the boxes into the room.
那些士兵將箱子搬進室內。
Sandy carried her suitcase and went to work.
Sandy提著她的手提箱去上班。
Please carry the empty bottles off.
請把那些空瓶子拿走。

他們用擔架把傷員抬走。

Andy把他的寵物們抱在懷裡。
He carried a box on his back.
