喜樂美語
  1. 1v/dɪˈdʌkt/扣除；減去

    to take an amount or part away from a total, especially money or points under a rule or system.

    「deduct」是「從總額裡拿走一部分」——常指錢、分數、費用，而且多半跟著規則或制度：扣稅、扣分、從帳單扣掉一筆。常見句型是 deduct something from something（從…扣除…）。跟 subtract 近：subtract 多半是純數學「一個數字減另一個」；deduct 更常講錢或分數在規則下被扣掉。跟 deduce 同音感但意思不同——deduce 是「推論出」，不是扣錢。核心畫面可以想成「總額裡照規則拿走一截」。

From the word’s history

From Latin deductus, past participle of deducere 'lead from'.

源自拉丁文 deducere「從…引開」，引申為扣除。

Wiktionary

Picture a total already written down, and a smaller amount being taken out of it under some rule — tax off a salary, points off a score. Deduct always works against a total that exists first, and there is usually a rule or system saying why the amount comes out.

可以想成：總數已經寫在那裡，而某個金額依照規則被拿走——薪水扣稅、分數被扣。deduct 一定是對著一個「先存在的總額」在動作，而且通常背後有一條規定，說明為什麼這筆要扣。
