[請教]如何正確使用carry on 和carry out而不會弄錯？

[台灣英語網1.0]

這兩個動詞片語中文意思差不多，有沒有方法可以正確分辨，而不會用錯？

在中國大陸的 英語學習網站上查到下列資料，感覺不完整，有人能幫我補充嗎？如果用中文來解釋，我覺得兩句的carry on/carry out互換也解釋得通。

carry out; carry on
◇ 注意兩者的區別：carry out 意為“執行；實行”；carry on 表示“(繼續)進行；進行下去”，強調堅持。如：
The group of soldiers carried out a secret military action the other day．
幾天前，這群士兵執行了一次秘密的軍事行動。
Comrades in Germany were carrying on a heroic fight against war under conditions of fascism at that time．
那時，在德國的同志正在法西斯的統治區進行一場英勇的反戰鬥爭。

5 (old-fashioned) to have a sexual relationship with someone, when you should not:

carry something out (phrasal verb)

1. to do something that needs to be organized and planned:
