    示範例句 · Example

    The school fair will vend snacks and cold drinks near the gate.

    逐字學校園遊會將在大門附近出售點心和冷飲。

    「vend」是正式／法律場合裡的「出售；販賣」。日常口語多半說 sell；vend 比較少單獨當動詞講。孩子最常碰到的是這個詞族：vending machine（自動販賣機）、street vending（街頭販售）。核心畫面可以想成「把東西交出去換錢」——這是記憶用的鏡頭，不是詞源事實。跟 sell 比：sell 是日常「賣」；vend 帶正式／法律語感。跟 peddle 比：peddle 常是四處走動賣小東西。

core核心畫面

You can picture the paperwork side of a sale rather than the shop side: goods changing owner, with a price named and a record kept. 'Vend' is the stiff, official twin of 'sell' — it lives in contracts, property notices and the label on a vending machine, and almost never in ordinary speech.

可以想成一筆買賣裡「文件」的那一面，而不是店面的那一面：東西換了主人，價錢寫明，留下紀錄。vend 可以看成 sell 那個比較硬、比較官方的雙胞胎兄弟——它出現在合約、產權公告，還有自動販賣機（vending machine）的名字上，日常講話幾乎不會用到。
