核心畫面

You can picture picking something up here and carrying it across to there — moving people or goods from one place to another. That one act of 'carrying across' fans out two ways: literally (the buses and trains that do the carrying, the business of hauling goods, a ship that carries troops, even shipping a prisoner off to a distant land), and figuratively (a song or a smell that 'carries you away' to another time, or a joy so strong it sweeps your whole feeling somewhere else).

可以想成把東西從這裡拿起來、搬到那裡去——把人或貨物從一個地方移到另一個地方。這個「搬運過去」的動作分成兩條路:一條更多收起可以想成把東西從這裡拿起來、搬到那裡去——把人或貨物從一個地方移到另一個地方。這個「搬運過去」的動作分成兩條路:一條是實體的(負責載運的公車火車、運貨的生意、載士兵的船,甚至把犯人送到遙遠國度),另一條是比喻的(一首歌、一種氣味把你「帶走」到另一個時空,或一陣強烈到把整個人的心情都捲走的喜悅)。

From the word’s history

From Latin trans- 'across' + portare 'to carry' — literally 'carry across', which is exactly the physical core; the emotional 'carried away' sense is a metaphor on the same root.

源自拉丁文 trans-(越過、橫過)加 portare(搬運),字面就是「搬過去、運過去」——正好就是實體的核心;情緒上「被帶走、神魂飛越」則是同一個字根的比喻延伸。

From the picture

情緒上被帶走(神魂飛越)

把「搬運過去」從身體搬到心裡:不是身體移動,而是某個聲音、畫面或喜悅把你的心神整個帶走、送到別處。
