名人教英文:raise、rise和arise
raise、rise和arise看来相似,但用法有异,大部分情况下不能互换。raise和rise同样既可作名词,又可作动词。不过,raise是及物动词(transitive verb),后面直接跟名词;rise是不及物动词(intransitive verb)。
raise (raised, raised)
1.升起、举起(对象):
a.police officers raise the national flag at the golden bauhinia square every morning.(升旗礼叫flag-raising ceremony。)
b.please raise your hand if you know the answer.
2.提高(数额):the company will raise salaries by 5%.
rise (rose, risen)
1.(对象)升起、上升:
a.the sun always rises in the east.
b.sea levels around the world are rising because of global warming.
2.(数额)增加:
salaries in hong kong are expected to rise by 4.5% on average next year.
除此之外,raise和rise各自有其他意思。raise 可解作「筹集」(如raise funds)、「提出」(如raise an objection)、「养育」(如raise a child)等。rise可解作「起立」(everyone please rise.)、「耸立」(the tower rises above other buildings in the town.)、「冒起」(this actress has risen to fame very quickly.)等。
