For example, the expression take care is explained at care.take 能和各种名词搭配使用，其含义主要取决于所搭配的名词。此类搭配是常用的习惯用语，其意义可参见相应的名词。例如，短语 take care 在 care 词条下有解释说明。1[VERB	动词]（后接名词，用于描述动作或事件） You can use take followed by a noun to talk about an action or event, when it would also be possible to use the verb that is related to that noun.

In the second sentence, bring suggests that the person and the calculator should come to the place where the speaker is.

Collins	take ★★★★★ 1. USED WITH NOUNS DESCRIBING ACTIONS 与描述动作的名词连用 2. OTHER USES 其他用法 Part-1 Take is used in combination with a wide range of nouns, where the meaning of the combination is mostly given by the noun. Many of these combinations are common idiomatic expressions whose meanings can be found at the appropriate nouns. For example, the expression take care is explained at care. take 能和各种名词搭配使用，其含义主要取决于所搭配的名词。此类搭配是常用的习惯用语，其意义可参见相应的名词。例如，短语 take care 在 care 词条下有解释说明。 1 [VERB 动词]（后接名词，用于描述动作或事件） You can use take followed by a noun to talk about an action or event, when it would also be possible to use the verb that is related to that noun. For example, you can say 'she took a shower' instead of 'she showered'. [V n] She was too tired to take a shower... 她累得连澡都懒得冲。 Betty took a photograph of us... 贝蒂给我们照了张相。 I've never taken a holiday since starting this job... 自从做这份工作起，我就没有休过假。 There's not enough people willing to take the risk... 没有足够的人愿意冒这个险。 Walk around the property and take a good look at it from the outside... 围着房子走一圈，从外边好好看一看。 We took a long walk through the pines. 我们在松树林中穿行了很久。 2 [VERB 动词]（与一系列名词连用，代替意义更为具体的动词） In ordinary spoken or written English, people use take with a range of nouns instead of using a more specific verb. For example people often say 'he took control' or 'she took a positive attitude' instead of 'he assumed control' or 'she adopted a positive attitude'.

In the second sentence, bring suggests that the person and the calculator should come to the place where the speaker is.
