To deport someone is to make them leave the country they are in and send them back to the country they came from. A government does this, not a neighbour or a boss.

It usually happens because the person does not have the legal right to stay — no visa, the visa ran out, or they broke a rule that lets the state send them away.
It usually happens通常會發生because the person does not have the legal right to stay是因為這個人沒有合法留下來的權利——no visa沒有簽證、the visa ran out簽證過期,or they broke a rule that lets the state send them away或是違反了讓國家可以把他們送走的規定。
The word is formal and heavy. News and law use deport. Friends more often say send back or kick out, though those are looser and do not always mean the official act.
The word這個詞is formal and heavy正式又沉重。News and law新聞和法律use deport會用deport這個詞。Friends朋友之間more often say比較常說send back送回去or kick out或踢出去,though those are looser不過這些說法比較鬆散and do not always mean the official act也不一定是指正式的處置。
A country deports a person; you do not deport a box.
A country國家deports a person才會deport人;you do not deport a box你不會deport箱子。
Though actually, English also has an older, rarer deport that means behave — you still hear it in deportment, an old-fashioned word for how someone carries themselves. That is not this sense. Here, deport is about borders and power, not manners.
Though actually不過其實,English also has英文還有an older, rarer deport一個更老、更少見的deport that means behave意思是舉止端正——you still hear it in deportment你還聽得到它出現在deportment這個字裡,an old-fashioned word for how someone carries themselves一個形容一個人儀態舉止的老式說法。That那個意思is not this sense不是這裡講的這個意思。Here在這裡,deport is about borders and powerdeport講的是國界和權力,not manners不是禮貌儀態。
組成Borrowed from French déporter. Latin de- (away) + portō (carry). The ‘behave’ meaning took a different path through Old French deporter.
