Put out 的各種意思??

Question

Liz and Greg are putting things out in the store.
請問這句話的意思和put out的意思??

Answer 1

put 真的是一個很好用的字,既使只談put out用法都一堆.

先只看這句中put sth out的用法,有可能:
1. Liz 和 Greg 正在店裡把東西放定位.
2. 將貨物上架.
雖然put out也有生產的意思,但通常用於生產"訊息類"產品,如報紙.

另外也可用於滅火,熄菸,關燈.
Put the fire out.
Put the cigarette out.
Put the lights out.
此外如果你感覺put out. Feel put out => 表你不高興,被惹惱了,被冒犯了.

put out 甚至有表示同意與人發生性關希的意思...

To Banff: You cannot use "put on" without "shelf" but you can use put "out" for put something to a place where people will be able to see it.

To Galaxy: The word "put" does mean to move something to a position. In this case, I offered two possible answers that means I think it might not be sufficient by ONLY consulting a dictionary.
Thanks for questioning.

Answer 2

Agree with Galaxy.
放定位、上架 ---> "Put ON", not "out".

Answer 3

莉姿和葛雷在店裡忙著製造(生產)產品。put out 是具有多義的片語，要仔細解讀，以下是Webster Online Dictionary的解釋：1 : EXTINGUISH <put the fire out>滅火2 : EXERT, USE <put out considerable effort>盡力做某事3 : PUBLISH, ISSUE　出版、發行4 : to produce for sale 製作、生產東西以供銷售5   a : DISCONCERT, EMBARRASS 使...窘困     b : ANNOY, IRRITATE 惹惱      c : INCONVENIENCE <don't put yourself out for us> 置身事外6 : to cause to be out (as in baseball or cricket) (棒球) 觸殺你看看哪個解釋合理合用?
