Could you help me answer this question? What does a swift current mean? I know swift means fast, but I didn't understand a swift current. Does impose a fine and carry a fine have the same meaning and be similar to pay a fine?

Could you help me answer this question?

What does 'a swift current' mean? (fast flowing) I know swift means fast, but I didn't understand a swift current. (think of a stream, a small river, a creek - the current is the flow of water)
Does impose a fine and carry a fine have the same meaning and be similar to pay a fine?

No, they all relate to the same issue. Driving above he speed limit is an offence that carries a fine; if you are caught speeding, the police will impose a fine; then you will have to pay the fine.

A current is the force that pulls and pushes you along in flowing water, so when this force pulls or pushes you fast, it is called a 'swift current'. 'Imposing' is the action of giving, that is done by someone, to someone else. If I gave you a fine, I 'imposed' it on you. If I gave you a deadline, I 'imposed' it on you. If something carries a fine, it means that you will be fined if you do that action. For example, if the action of parking in front of a store carries a fine, then you would b fined if you parked in front of a store. So the last 3 phrases are about the same subject, but do not mean the same thing.
