Freeze the action 'hand out' into a thing: whatever gets passed out to people, free. Who receives it decides the meaning — someone in need gets aid; everyone in the room gets a printed sheet.

一隻手把東西遞出去(hand out),而且是往外分給別人、不收錢也不期待回報。這個字就是把那個動作凍結成一個名詞—更多收起一隻手把東西遞出去(hand out),而且是往外分給別人、不收錢也不期待回報。這個字就是把那個動作凍結成一個名詞——被遞出去的那樣東西。至於遞的是什麼、遞給誰,決定了它落在哪個意思上:遞給有需要的人,那是救濟;遞給在座每一個人,那是講義。共同點是「單向地發出去」。

Two branches

發給有需要的人

遞出去的是資源,接的人是缺這份資源的人。

handout, welfare/charity · noun · B2

money, food, or other things that are given free to someone who needs them, for example by a government, an organization, or a family member.

救濟金;補助;施捨

發給在場每個人

同樣是往外遞,但接的人不是有需要的人,而是現場所有人——遞的東西也從資源換成了資訊。

handout, printed material · noun · B1

a sheet of paper with information on it, which is given to each person at a lesson, a talk, or a meeting.
