To televise something is to show it on television. The key point is that the thing already exists on its own — a football match, a concert, a trial, the president's speech — and television carries it out to viewers. You televise an event; you do not televise a drama series that was made for TV in the first place.

To televise something使某件事被電視轉播 is to show it on television就是把它放上電視播出. The key point is重點是 that the thing already exists on its own那件事本身已經存在了 — a football match, a concert, a trial, the president's speech一場足球賽、一場音樂會、一場審判、總統的演講 — and television carries it out to viewers而電視只是把它傳送給觀眾. You televise an event你轉播的是一個已經存在的事件; you do not televise你不會 televise a drama series that was made for TV in the first place一部本來就是為電視拍的連續劇.

Because of that, the word turns up again and again with sport, ceremonies, funerals, debates and court cases. It is a slightly formal, newsy word: a sports fan would more likely say "Is the game on TV?" than "Is the game being televised?", though the second is perfectly normal in writing and in news reports. You will very often meet it in the passive — "the match will be televised live" — and as an adjective, "a televised debate", "live televised coverage".

Because of that正因如此, the word turns up again and again這個字一再出現 with sport, ceremonies, funerals, debates and court cases在體育賽事、典禮、喪禮、辯論和法庭案件裡. It is a slightly formal, newsy word這是一個略帶正式、新聞感的詞: a sports fan would more likely say一個球迷比較會說 'Is the game on TV?'「這場比賽電視有轉播嗎」 than 'Is the game being televised?'而不是「這場比賽正在被電視轉播嗎」, though the second is perfectly normal不過後者在書寫和新聞報導裡完全正常 in writing and in news reports. You will very often meet it你很常會看到它 in the passive用被動式 — 'the match will be televised live'「這場比賽將會現場轉播」 — and as an adjective也會當形容詞用, 'a televised debate'「電視轉播的辯論」, 'live televised coverage'「現場電視轉播」.
