拖

I was dragged into going along with them.

The boy was trailing a toy car.

The damaged car was towed to a nearby repair shop.

They hauled him out of the river.

This matter cannot be put off any longer. / The matter admitted of no delay.

This project was not completed until one year behind schedule.

It's getting late; don't delay.

Don't put off today's work till tomorrow.
