rise/raise1

问

动词 rise 与动词 raise 有何区别?

答

rise(rose, risen)是个不及物动词，例句见rise/arise。raise(raised, raised)则是个及物动词，如raise a flag (a hat, a glass), raise prices (the wages, the salary, the temperature, the voice):

  1. The weight is too heavy; I can't raise it. (Palmer) 这件东西太重,我拿不起来。

  2. Have you raised the wages? 你涨工资了吗?

  3. That discussion raised my interest. (FWF) 那场讨论引起了我的兴趣。

  4. The mother raised her child from the ground. 母亲把孩子从地上抱起来。改正下面句子里的错误：

  6. She rose her hand to ask a question.

  7. The class raised when the teacher entered.

问

（1）The sudden and unprecedented raise in the cost of living proved to be an unforeseen advantage because it helped him decide to leave the country at last. (TOEFL) (2) “The price of the things keeps going up.” “Yes, but the interest paid on my savings account is certainly not ____.” A. risen B. raise C. on the rise D. on the raise (TOEFL) 查《最新高级英汉词典》，用作名词的 raise: 加薪；增加(=rise)。查 WNCD，用作名词的 raise: an increase in amount: as a: an increase of a bet or bid b: an increase in wages or salary. 既然名词 raise 作 rise (an increase in amount) 解，为什么试题(1)要求将 raise 改为 rise，而试题(2)，要求选 C，而不能选 D 呢？

答

名词 raise 在美国英语中用来表示“加薪”(an increase in wages or salary)已被看作是正式的书面英语。例如：

  1. He thought about asking his boss for a raise. (EED) 他考虑请老板提高工资的事。
  2. He received a raise not only in salary but in position as well. (FWF) 他不仅提高了工资,而且也提高了地位。 请对比英国英语的用法： We all got a £ 6-a-week rise last month. 我们上个月的周薪都提高了6英镑。 但是,在其他情况下用 raise 来代替 rise(an increase in amount) 目前尚未被看作是非正式用法。而我们大家都知道,TOEFL 的测试专家们是以考核考生正确运用正式的书面英语的能力为己任的。 roar to/at 见 shout to/at rob/rob of 见 deprive of
