把犯人流放到遠方（舊時刑罰）
還是「把人搬到別處」，只是被搬的是犯人，而且是當作處罰：從前把罪犯裝上船、送到很遠的殖民地（尤其是澳洲）去，讓他離開故土回不來，這種放逐就叫 transportation。

可以把 transportation 想成「把東西一路搬過去」這整件事——人或貨在這裡被載起、在那頭被放下。這個詞同時罩住兩層：一是負責搬運的工具與系統（公車、火車、飛機），二是搬運這個動作本身。From the word’s history
From Latin transportare 'to carry across', from trans- 'across, beyond' + portare 'to carry'. So the word is literally a carrying-across — the exact picture behind every modern sense, from a bus network to shipping goods.
來自拉丁文 transportare（把東西運過去），由 trans-（跨越、越過）加 portare（搬運）組成，字面就是「搬運過去」。這個「跨越距離把東西搬過去」的畫面，正好貫穿了現代每一個用法，從整套公車系統到把貨物送出去。
