take と take ~ withの違いは?
「take ~ と take ~ with you の違い」について、意味と違いを解説します。
take の意味:
“Take” means ‘move with something or someone from where the speaker or listener is to a different place.’
take with の意味:
“Take with” means to move something or someone from where the speaker or listener is to where the taker is going.
→ ”Take with”の場合は元々行くつもりの場所に持って行くというようなニュアンスです。
take の例:
– “Will you take this letter to the post office?”
→ I want you to take this letter from here to the post office.
– “I want you to take your sister to the pool.”
→ I want you to take your sister to the pool.
上記と同じ文で比較すると、以下のようになります。take with の場合です。
take with の例:
– “Will you take this letter with you to the post office?”
→ you are going to the post office, so please take this letter there.
– “I want you to take your sister with you to the pool
→ you are going to the pool, so take your sister there, too.
特に場所を示す必要が無い場合は、どちらも同じ意味になります。
– “I can’t finish all this popcorn; please take the rest (with you).”
– “He liked the cake so much. I told him to take it (with him).”
