Phrase carrier
Text The word "carrier," in this podcast, means a person who has been exposed to a disease and has the bacteria or virus and is not showing any symptoms (medical problems), but can transfer the disease to others: "Be careful who you kiss, because even though people might appear to be healthy, they could be carriers of some very serious diseases." A "mail carrier" is a person who delivers the mail: "The mail carrier usually brings the mail around 1:30 p.m." A "pet carrier" is a special box used to transport small animals like dogs and cats: "The dog hates getting into the pet carrier, because he knows it means a trip to the veterinarian's office." Finally, an "aircraft carrier" is a very large military ship that airplanes can take off from and land on: "A typical aircraft carrier is as big as three to four football fields."
