portare

/por'tare/ [1]

Tra i verbi inglesi che traducono l'italiano portare, to bring e to take sottolineano il movimento e la direzione verso cui si porta qualcosa: to bring implica l'idea di venire verso chi parla o ascolta, to take l'idea di allontanarsi da chi parla o ascolta (cameriere, mi porti il conto per favore! = waiter, bring me the bill, please!; prenditi l'ombrello! = take your umbrella with you!). Il verbo to carry, invece, non implica alcuna direzione ma piuttosto l'idea di trasportare qualcosa, o portare qualcosa con sé: mi porti tu questi libri, per favore? = will you carry these books for me, please? non porto mai molti soldi con me = I never carry much money with me.

Quand elle désigne la manière elle se traduit souvent par un adverbe formé à partir du nom qui la suit: avec attention = carefully; avec passion = passionately. On trouvera ces expressions sous attention, passion etc

On notera toutefois que avec beaucoup d'attention, avec une grande passion se traduisent: with great care, with a lot of passion. Les expressions telles que avec l'âge/l'expérience/les années etc sont traitées respectivement sous âge, expérience, année etc

On trouvera dans l'entrée des exceptions et des exemples supplémentaires
