Levy functions as both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it describes a compulsory payment — a tax, charge, or contribution demanded by an authority. As a verb, it means to impose or collect such a payment. It is also used in military contexts for the conscription of troops. It is slightly more formal than 'tax' and often refers to specific, targeted charges rather than general taxation. Common collocations include 'levy a tax,' 'impose a levy,' 'a levy on,' 'the apprenticeship levy,' and 'capital gains levy.'

levy 既可作名词也可作动词。作名词时，指当局要求缴纳的强制性费用——税、收费或摊派。作动词时，意为征收或收取此类费用。在军事语境中也用于指征兵。该词比'tax'略为正式，通常指特定的、有针对性的收费而非一般性税收。常见搭配包括'levy a tax''impose a levy''a levy on''the apprenticeship levy'和'capital gains levy'。

Levy funciona como sustantivo y como verbo. Como sustantivo, describe un pago obligatorio —un impuesto, tasa o contribución— exigido por una autoridad. Como verbo, significa imponer o recaudar dicho pago. También se emplea en contextos militares para referirse al reclutamiento forzoso de tropas. Es algo más formal que 'tax' y suele designar cargas específicas y focalizadas, no la tributación general. Las colocaciones habituales incluyen 'levy a tax', 'impose a levy', 'a levy on', 'the apprenticeship levy' y 'capital gains levy'.

levy は名詞としても動詞としても機能する。名詞としては、当局が要求する強制的な支払い――税金、手数料、分担金を表す。動詞としては、そのような支払いを課す、または徴収することを意味する。軍事的文脈では兵士の徴集にも使われる。'tax' よりもやや格式ばった語で、一般的な課税ではなく、特定の対象を狙った課金を指すことが多い。'levy a tax''impose a levy''a levy on''the apprenticeship levy''capital gains levy' などの共起表現が一般的である。

levy는 명사와 동사 모두로 사용된다. 명사로는 당국이 요구하는 의무적 납부금, 즉 세금, 부과금, 기여금을 뜻한다. 동사로는 그러한 납부금을 부과하거나 징수한다는 뜻이다. 군사적 맥락에서는 병력 징집의 의미로도 쓰인다. 'tax'보다 다소 격식적이며, 일반적인 세금보다는 특정하고 목적이 있는 부과금을 가리키는 경우가 많다. 일반적인 연어 표현으로는 'levy a tax', 'impose a levy', 'a levy on', 'the apprenticeship levy', 'capital gains levy' 등이 있다.
