动词bring,take,carry,get,lift都有“携带、运送“之意，但它们用法各异。

一、bring意为“拿来”、“带来”是指某物或某人从别处带到说话者所在的地方来，动作由远及近。

Bring me the book, please.
May I bring Jim to see you next Saturday?
Don’t forget to bring it here.

Bring him with you to see me.

It looks like rain. Take a raincoat with you.
Mother took the little girl to the next room.
Can you take these books to the classroom?

I’ll take you to see your teacher.

Take this empty box away and bring me a full one．把这个空盒子拿走，给我拿一个满的来。

　bring 和 take 是一对反义词。bring 表示从别处把某人或物“带来”或“拿来”，而 take 则指把某人或物“带走”或“拿走”(到别处)。如：

　　Please take the empty cup away and bring me a cup of tea. 请把这个空杯子拿走，给我拿杯茶来。

三、carry指“随身携带”(如搬，提，拿，扛，抬，抱，背，带等)，不具体说明来去的方向，有时含有沉重或麻烦之意。。

He often carries water for the old man.

The box is too heavy for me to carry.

Do you always carry a handbag?
The box is heavy. Can you carry it?

The wounded men were carried away. 伤员被抬走了。

She carried her baby in her arms. 她把婴儿抱在怀里。

I never carry much money (with me). 我(身上)从不带很多钱。

He carried a box on his back. 他背着一个箱子。

四、 get意为“拿”、“取”指说话人所在地出发，把人或物带回原处，表示动作的往返。

Can you get me some water?

Please get a doctor at once..Bill is having a cold.

Please go to my office to get some chalk.
There is no water in the bottle. Why not get some?

注意： bring和take方向性较强，它们的关系如同come和go的关系，但词组bring out和take out都表示“拿出来”，没有区别，表示这个意思时也可以用get out。如：

He brings out/takes out/gets out a picture of his daughter．他拿出一张他女儿的照片。

He took [brought, got] out his dictionary and looked up the word. 他拿出词典来查这个词。

五、lift意为“抬、提、举”，表示把某物从某一低处般到某一高处，动作由低到高。

Tom is lifting a basket of apples on to a tractor.

The students are lifting the desks on to the second floor.

Let me carry this bag for you． 让我替你扛这只袋子吧。

另外

关于fetch与get

　　fetch 与 get 大致同义，均指到别处把某人或物带来，在意义上相当于 go and bring，口语中多用 get。如：

　　Shall I get [fetch] you your coat from the next room? 要不要我从隔壁房间把你的大衣拿来?

　　It’s time to get [fetch] the children from school. 是把孩子们从学校接回来的时候了。

　　注：fetch 和 get 在意义上相当于 go and bring，所以从逻辑上说它们不宜再与 go 连用，但在实际运用中常可见到(或听到)这样的句子：

　　Go and get your notebook. 去把你的笔记本拿来。

　　Let’s go and fetch some water. 我们去提点水来吧。
