核心畫面
You can think of it as digging a living plant out of the soil it has been growing in, carrying it somewhere else, and settling its roots into new ground — the same living thing, but now rooted in a different place.

把一株還活著的植物連根從原本的土裡挖起來，搬到另一個地方，再把根重新埋進新的土。重點有三個——東西是活的、離開了原本紮根的地方、而且在新地方要重新長回去。這也正是這個字拆開來的樣子：trans-（跨過去）+ plant（栽種），跨過去再種一次。From the word’s history
From Late Latin transplantare = trans- (across) + plantare (to plant): literally 'to plant across', i.e. to lift something rooted and re-root it elsewhere. Middle English took it in through Old French transplanter.
這個字來自晚期拉丁文 transplantare，就是 trans-（越過、到另一邊）加上 plantare（栽種），字面意思是「種到另一邊去」。所以它從一開始講的就是把已經紮根的東西抬起來、在別處重新種下——現代英文裡不管搬的是一棵樹、一顆腎臟還是一種生活方式，用的都還是同一個動作。

把人、風格、想法搬到別的地方
把根從土裡拔起來的畫面往抽象方向延伸：搬的可以是一個人、一種做法、一個想法，重點還是「它原本長在某個環境裡，被整個搬到另一個環境」。

To move something or someone from one place to another, such as a person, a style, or an idea.
