Abducting Meaning in English
word · lemma: abduct
释义
Taking someone away by force, often against their will. It usually means illegally capturing a person, often for a ransom or to cause harm.
用法与细微差别
Usually used in formal, legal, or news contexts; not casual speech. 'Abducting' almost always refers to people, not objects. Commonly paired with words like 'children,' 'victims,' or 'aliens' (in sci-fi). Don't confuse with 'kidnapping,' which is more common in everyday English; 'abducting' is a bit more formal or technical.
