　　Some English words are made up of the same pad and have different beginnings and different endings, such as import and export, report and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same “port”, which comes from the latin word, meaning “to carry” or “to move” from one place to another. And according to the bit at the beginning which we call prefix, the meaning changes. “Import” means “to carry in ”or “to bring into a country” ; “export”, “ex ” means “out of”, so this word means “to carry out of the country” . “ re” means “back ”, so “ report ” means “ to tell somebody, to bring back information to somebody”; “transport”, “trans ” means “across” and it means “to carry across one place to another” .
