Subject: abduction

abduction についてMWCDの説明に
to carry off (as a person) by force とある。
カッコ内の語句はどういうこと?

carry off は「誘拐する」という意味だから
目的語が「人」であるのは当たり前ではないの?
to carry off something as a person...???

eijiroにあたってみる。
carry off 句動詞
1.を獲得する、手に入れる、勝ち取る、賞を取る
2.をうまくやってのける、うまくやり通す、うまく処理する
3.を悟らせない、隠す、取り繕う、切り抜ける
4.を奪い去る、持ち去る、運び去る、さらって行く、誘かいする、かどわかす
5.の命を奪う、〜を死なせる、殺す
目的語が人でなくてはならないのは5だけのようだ。

carry off a high position
高い地位ちいに就く

carry off a prize
賞をさらう

carry off all the gold medals
金メダルをみんな取る

carry off the company president
会社社長を誘拐する

carry off the highest prize
最高賞を取る

carry off the palm
月桂冠を得る、卓絶する、勝つ、優勝する、優勝者になる

carry off the refuse
廃品を運び去る

最後の例文では目的語はなんでもいいことになる。なるほど。
わざわざ as a person と断りを入れたのはこのあたりの事情らしい。

2と3の例文をさがすこと。
前置詞を含む動詞はとっつきにくい。
