這些銅線把電輸送到村裡的每一戶人家。

carry + electricity + to (via cables)

The pipeline carries natural gas from the coast to the capital city.

  • convey

    formal, for moving goods or information through a system

文法句型

carry + resource + from + to + place

carry + passengers + across/along + route

用法筆記

Distinguish from the TRANSPORT sense (sense 1), which involves a person physically holding and moving something. This sense describes movement through vehicles, pipes, or cables.

常見錯誤

❌The pipe brings water to the town.
✅The pipe carries water to the town.
💡'bring' implies a person or agent actively moving something; 'carry' is the natural verb for pipes and cables as systems.

反義詞

文法句型

The object is typically small enough to fit in a pocket or bag. For larger items that stay in one place, use 'keep' instead. Common collocations: carry a phone, wallet, passport, keys, umbrella, ID card.

常見錯誤

❌I carry a television in my living room.
✅I keep a television in my living room.
💡'carry' implies you take it with you when you move; 'keep' means it stays in a place.

文法句型

7.動詞及物B2
釋義

維繫；撐持

Shirin 靠著她的熱情和創意想法支撐著行銷團隊。

carry + team — personal effort sustains a group

The new manager relies on a few workers to carry the whole project.

新主管依賴少數員工撐起整個專案。

同義詞
  • sustain

    more formal; focuses on keeping something going without personal heroism

文法句型

carry + noun phrase (business/team/project)

用法筆記

Commonly used to describe a person or a small group whose effort is disproportionately responsible for a larger organisation's functioning. Often followed by an object like 'team', 'department', 'business', or 'operation'.

常見錯誤

❌He carried the company on his back for years, but nobody noticed.
✅He carried the company through several years of difficulty, but nobody noticed.
💡Both are acceptable; the idiom 'on his back' is informal but grammatical. More common: 'carry [noun] through [challenge]'.

8.動詞及物B2
釋義

說服；爭取

贏得一群人的支持或認同

反義詞
  • lose

    fail to gain support: 'His speech lost the crowd.'

文法句型

carry + audience/crowd/people

carry + someone + with + noun phrase

用法筆記

Often used in political or public-speaking contexts. The direct object is a group of people (audience, crowd, committee, voters, room). Not used with a single individual as object.

常見錯誤

❌She carried her husband to agree with her.
✅She carried the audience with her speech.
💡This sense takes a collective group as object, not an individual.

通過（議案）

經由投票正式批准

建造新學校的動議以十二票對三票通過。

passive: be carried by [vote count]

    the opposite outcome: 'the motion was defeated 10-5'

  • reject

    formal vote to turn down

文法句型

carry + motion/resolution/bill

be carried

用法筆記

Frequently used in the passive ('the motion was carried'). The subject is typically a legislative body, committee, or board. Active voice ('the board carried the motion') is less common but acceptable.

常見錯誤

❌The president carried the new rule by signing it.
✅The committee carried the motion by a show of hands.
💡This sense is specifically about formal voting, not about executive approval.

10.動詞及物B1
釋義

刊登；播出

if a newspaper, website, television programme, or other public source carries information, it shows, publishes, or broadcasts that piece of content to the public.

例句

The front page of the local paper carried a photo of the rescue team.

當地報紙的頭版刊登了一張救援團隊的照片。

carry + photo/headline/story — publish or display

All the major news websites carried the story about the earthquake within minutes.

所有主要新聞網站都在幾分鐘內刊登了關於地震的報導。

同義詞
  • publish

    more specific to printed and online media; does not cover television

  • broadcast

    used for TV and radio; more specific than 'carry'

文法句型

carry + noun phrase (headline/story/article)

用法筆記

The subject is always a publication, broadcast channel, website, or other content-distributing medium. The object is the specific piece of content (story, article, photo, report, review). Frequently used in journalism.

常見錯誤

❌The newspaper carried the weather to be rainy.
✅The newspaper carried a weather report saying it would rain.
💡The object must be the publication itself (report, story, article), not the information paraphrased.

11.動詞不及物B1
釋義

傳播；傳送

（聲音）傳到遠處

used to describe a sound that travels through the air and stays clear enough to be heard at a distance — for instance, a voice travelling across a large room or music reaching the back of a concert hall.

例句

The singer's voice carried across the entire concert hall without a microphone.

那位歌手的歌聲不需麥克風就能傳遍整個音樂廳。

sound + carries + across/through/over [distance]

Sound carries much farther over water than it does over land.

聲音在水面上傳得比在陸地上遠得多。

同義詞
  • travel

    more general: 'sound travels' vs 'carries' suggests simple propagation, not being heard distinctly

  • reach

    focuses on the destination: 'his voice reached the back row'

文法句型

carry + (adverb of distance)

sound/voice/noise + carries

用法筆記

Always intransitive — the sound itself is the subject. No object follows. Adverbs of distance (far, across, for miles, down the hall) are typical. Common in descriptions of acoustics, nature, and performance venues.

常見錯誤

❌She carried her voice across the room.
✅Her voice carried across the room.
💡This sense is intransitive; the sound travels on its own. Use 'project' for deliberate voice control.

12. to do something so that an activity, tradition, or process continues to develop

12.動詞及物B2
釋義

延續；推進

使活動或傳統持續發展

to do something so that an activity, tradition, or process continues to develop or remains active beyond its current point — for instance, carrying research forward into a new phase.

例句

The team plans to carry their research forward into clinical trials next year.

該團隊計畫明年將他們的研究推進到臨床試驗階段。

carry + [work/research] + forward/on — continue developing

Parents carry traditions from one generation to the next through festivals and stories.

父母透過節慶和故事將傳統一代一代延續下去。

同義詞
  • continue

    more direct and common; no directional adverb needed

  • extend

    suggests broadening or prolonging, not necessarily developing further

反義詞

文法句型

carry + noun + forward/on/through/to

用法筆記

Nearly always accompanied by a directional adverb or preposition (forward, on, through, into, to). The object is typically abstract: work, tradition, momentum, interest, energy. Without the directional word, the meaning shifts to a different sense.

常見錯誤

❌She carried the project.' (unclear without direction)
✅She carried the project through to completion.
💡This sense requires a directional phrase to be complete.

13.動詞及物B2
釋義

姿態；舉止

以某種方式表現身體姿態或態度

to adopt a particular posture or way of walking that reveals your emotional state or character — such as standing tall with quiet confidence or treading with careful steps.

例句

Talia carries herself with quiet confidence even during difficult meetings.

Talia 即使在困難的會議中也帶著沈著的自信。

reflexive carry yourself + adverb of manner

Despite being the youngest member of the team, Nia carries herself like a seasoned professional.

儘管是團隊中最年輕的成員，Nia 的舉止卻像經驗豐富的專業人士。

同義詞
  • comport

    formal; almost always used with a reflexive pronoun ('comport oneself with dignity')

  • conduct

    more about behaviour than posture; 'conduct oneself' includes actions and choices

  • bear

    older or literary register; 'bear oneself well' focuses on courage under pressure

文法句型

carry + reflexive pronoun + adverb

用法筆記

The object of this sense is nearly always a reflexive pronoun (yourself, himself, herself, themselves). The adverb or adverbial phrase that follows describes the manner of composure.

常見錯誤

❌She carried her body with elegance.
✅She carried herself with elegance.
💡Use a reflexive pronoun (yourself, himself, etc.), not a body part, as the object.

釋義

進位

加法中總和超過九時將數字移到下一欄

when adding digits in arithmetic, to shift a digit to the column with the next higher place value because the current column's total is ten or more.

例句

When you add 7 and 8, you get 15, so you write down 5 and carry the 1 to the tens column.

7 加 8 等於 15，所以你寫下 5，然後把 1 進位到十位數欄。

Hiro showed his younger brother how to carry numbers when adding 67 and 48.

Hiro 示範給弟弟看，計算 67 加 48 時要如何進位。

carry + noun (numbers) in addition context

同義詞
  • regroup

    modern educational term for the same process, used in many school curricula

  • rename

    alternative school term for the same process, especially in US primary maths

文法句型

carry + number + to/into + column

用法筆記

The number being carried is usually a single digit (1, 2, etc.). This sense is taught in basic arithmetic and rarely appears outside primary-school or calculation contexts.

常見錯誤

❌I carried the number 7 to the next column.
✅I carried the 1 to the next column when the total was 12.
💡Carrying only applies when a column's sum equals or exceeds ten; you carry the tens digit (typically 1).

The quarterback surprised everyone by deciding to carry the ball himself instead of passing.

同義詞
  • rush

  • run with the ball

    more general and descriptive, not restricted to American football

文法句型

carry + the ball

carry + distance/yardage

用法筆記

Frequently used in sports commentary and statistics. The player performing the action is called a 'ball carrier'. This sense can be intransitive (specifying yardage or number of attempts) or transitive (specifying the ball as object).

The hockey player carried the puck along the boards and into the offensive zone.

同義詞
  • dribble

    more common for soccer and basketball; 'dribble' emphasises repeated small touches while 'carry' emphasises forward progression

  • skate with

    ice-hockey-specific; 'skate with the puck' implies the player is moving on skates

文法句型

carry + the ball/puck + adverbial

用法筆記

In soccer, 'dribble' is more common for general ball control, but 'carry' emphasises purposeful forward movement. In ice hockey, 'carry' is the standard term for moving the puck on the stick.

同義詞
  • palm

    alternative term for the same violation; 'palming the ball' is the formal rulebook phrase

文法句型

carry + the ball (passive: get called for carrying)

用法筆記

Also called 'palming' in official basketball rulebooks. A carry violation results in a turnover — the other team gets the ball. This sense is most common in coaching and refereeing contexts.

    descriptive rather than technical; used in informal golf talk

文法句型

carry + number + noun (twins/triplets)

  • host

    technical term in biology; used for organisms that carry parasites

文法句型

carry + disease/pathogen/parasite

carry + gene

carry + virus/bacteria

用法筆記

Often used in medical and scientific writing. The person or animal carrying the disease may not be ill themselves — the term describes the potential to spread rather than personal illness.

常見錯誤

❌He carried a cold and felt terrible.
✅He carried the cold virus and passed it to his whole family.
💡For personal illness, use 'had' or 'caught'; 'carry' focuses on the potential to spread.

  • assume

    formal; means to begin to take responsibility

反義詞
  • avoid

    to stay away from responsibility rather than accepting it

  • shed

文法句型

carry + responsibility/blame/weight/burden

carry + the + responsibility + of + -ing

用法筆記

Often used with abstract nouns such as 'responsibility', 'blame', 'weight', 'burden', 'pressure'. The sense is close to 'bear' but 'carry' suggests active, ongoing management rather than passive endurance.

常見錯誤

❌She carried the box of being team leader.
✅She carried the responsibility of being team leader.
💡'Carry' with abstract burden requires an abstract noun, not a physical one.

用法筆記

Subject is typically a shop, store, brand, or business. This sense does not apply to individual people carrying items personally.
