In Southern English, 'carry' doesn't just mean to hold something in your arms — it also means to transport someone by car. 'Can you carry me to the store?' means 'Can you drive me to the store?' Non-Southerners are often confused by this usage, imagining literally being carried.

在南方英语中，'carry'不仅仅意味着用胳膊搬东西——它还意味着开车送某人。'Can you carry me to the store?'意思是'你能开车送我去商店吗？'非南方人常常对这种用法感到困惑，以为是要字面意义上被抱着走。

En el inglés sureño, 'carry' no solo significa llevar algo en los brazos, sino también transportar a alguien en coche. 'Can you carry me to the store?' significa '¿Me puedes llevar a la tienda en coche?'. A los no sureños les suele confundir este uso, ya que se imaginan que los cargan literalmente en brazos.

南部英語では「carry」は何かを腕に抱えるという意味だけでなく、車で誰かを運ぶという意味もある。「Can you carry me to the store?」は「お店まで送ってくれない？」という意味。南部以外の人はこの用法に戸惑い、文字通り抱えて運ぶことを想像してしまうことが多い。

남부 영어에서 'carry'는 팔로 무언가를 드는 것뿐만 아니라 차로 누군가를 이동시키는 것도 의미한다. 'Can you carry me to the store?'는 '가게까지 태워다 줄 수 있어?'라는 뜻이다. 남부 사람이 아니면 문자 그대로 안아서 나른다는 뜻으로 혼동하는 경우가 많다.
