Default Re: transport, transplant

Hi,

Thank you very much for your explanation. I understand No.2 now.

I don't understand No.1. Is it a negative reply or a positive reply?
In the dictionary it reads that in American English "transportation" is what "transport" in British English. But I'd like to make sure of it.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.

Jiang

No.2
[1] noun: a kidney transplant
[2] participle: a kidney [that was] transplanted <it sounds kind of odd to me>
