take
这个不规则动词的过去式和过去分词分别是：took, taken。
Take的第一个语义是：to move something from one place to another place. 这个语义其实我们很熟悉了，无非就是“拿（走），带（走）”之意。但是值得注意的是，拥有类似语义的词语还有bring和fetch这两个词，我们还是来区分一下吧：bring指的是“从别处拿（来）或带（来）”，fetch呢是指“去另一地方并将放在那一处的东西拿来”。而我们这里的take则是指“把物品带到另一个地方去”。例如：
We usually take the children to school in the car.
He was taken away by the police.
Her dentist took out o tooth of hers.
What do you get if you take 4 from 9? (9减去4)
这层语义还能上升为：to remove or use without permission or by mistake. 即“错拿（走）， 剽窃，擅自使用”之意。例如：
Someone’s taken my pen.
She took away some part of my article. (剽窃)
Take的第二个语义是：to get something into one’s possession. 意味着“占有，获得”之意。这层意思有着广泛的使用。例如：
Enemy forces have taken the airport. (攻占)
Take a seat!
She took second prize.
He took my arm and led me to the road.
Let me take your coat.
Take的第三层语义是：to accept. 即“接受…”。例如：
The shop will take it back if it doesn’t fit.
Do you take credit card? (能刷信用卡吗？)
If you take my advice you’ll sell that at once.
You can take my word for it. (听我的没错。)

Take的第四层语义是：to need for a purpose. 即“需要（用）…”。例如：

What kind of money does international trade take?
It takes courage to do a thing like that.
Take的第五层语义是：used without strong meaning with certain nouns to show an action or feeling. 这时它会在后面跟上一些名词，稍稍表示一种行为或者感觉。例如：
I’ll take a walk.
