raise
1、The workers are struggling for raising salaries.
My uncle was raised in the USA.
raise在教材中的意思為籌集,作動詞用。
上面句子中的兩個raise還作動詞用,但是意思發生了變化,分別為提高和撫養,養育。
第一句可譯為工人們一直在爭取提高薪水第二句可譯為我叔叔是在美國長大的.。
2、Please raise your hand if you agree with me.此句中raise用作動詞,意為舉起,使升高。這是raise的常用法。raise還有其它用法。如:
① They are raising funds for charity.(raise用作及物動詞,意為籌集,募捐。)
② Lucy raised her eyebrows in surprise. (raise ones eyebrows意為揚起眉毛,表示不贊同或驚訝。)
