carry on doing vs carry on to do
- carry on doing 表示「繼續做（同一件）正在進行的事」，強調動作的持續性，不中斷。
- carry on to do 則表示「（完成一件事後）接著去做另一件事」，強調動作的轉換與接續。
- 在大多數持續進行的情境中，使用 carry on doing 更為自然。
- 當描述一系列按順序進行的動作時，才會使用 carry on to do 來表示下一步。 EN: After the short break, we carried on discussing the budget. 翻譯: 短暫休息後，我們繼續討論預算。
