用法总结

Raise vs rise

Both raise and rise refer to something going up, but there is a difference.
“Raise” 和 “rise” 作动词时都有 “上升” 的意思,但它们的用法不同。

1. Raise
Raise needs a direct object - if you raise something you move it up. It has both literal and non-literal meanings and it is a regular verb, so it's past and past participle forms are raised.
动词 “raise” 后需要加直接宾语,如:“raise something”,意思是 “把某物举起、抬起、提起”。“Raise” 既可以指 “抬起具体的事物”,也可以表示 “增加,提高某事物”。“Raise” 是规则动词,所以过去式和过去分词均为 “raised”。

  • raise my eyebrows when I'm surprised.
  • The government plan to raise taxes.
  • He raised his voice at me in anger, but I forgave him.

2. Rise
Rise 
does not take a direct object - things rise or go up by themselves. Rise is an irregular verb so the past form is rose and the past participle is risen.
动词 “rise” 后不需要加直接宾语,如: “something rises”,意思是 “某物自己升起、升高”。“Rise” 是不规则动词,它的过去时为 “rose”,过去分词为 “risen”。

  • The sun rises at 6a.m.
  • The water level rises twice a day because of the tide.
  • The bird rose into the air and flew away.
