picture 廣義的影象，可以指任何的圖，比如畫（＝paint；eg: I drew a picture.）、藝術畫（＝art picture；eg: The artist made a fantastic picture）、圖形（＝shape；The picture is consisted by square and triangle）、照片（＝photo；I'll take a picture, make your position）、想象中的（＝image； I can imagine a beautiful picture of future）

picture 可以做及物動詞，用作“想象”（＝imagine）， I can picture a brightful future.

drawing是指繪畫出來的圖紙、圖樣

carton是指漫畫，動畫片。

其實三者很好區別呀

區別辨析cartoon、picture

cartoon與picture都含有“畫、圖”之意。

cartoon : 指幽默或諷刺性漫畫。

Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and other Disney cartoon characters gave endless delight to millions of children.
米老鼠、唐老鴨及其他迪斯尼卡通形象給數百萬的兒童帶來了無盡的歡樂。

picture : 指廣義的“圖畫”，現多用來指相片、畫像。

We took a picture of (= photographed) the children on their new bicycles.
我們拍了一張孩子們騎新腳踏車的照片.

I hate having my picture taken (= being photographed).
我不喜歡被人拍照。

We can't get a clear picture.
我們看不到清晰的畫面。

cartoon是卡通的意思，而picture則是圖片的意思，區別可以從以下例子看出：

Cartoon consist of many pictures to make up a movie to entertain audiences, pictures only give people who understand the meaning behind the picture. 卡通片由多張圖片組成以取悅觀眾，圖片只給瞭解圖片背後含義的人。
