raise
1、The workers are struggling for raising salaries.
My uncle was raised in the USA.
raise在教材中的意思为筹集,作动词用。
上面句子中的两个raise还作动词用,但是意思发生了变化,分别为提高和抚养,养育。
第一句可译为工人们一直在争取提高薪水第二句可译为我叔叔是在美国长大的.。
2、Please raise your hand if you agree with me.此句中raise用作动词,意为举起,使升高。这是raise的常用法。raise还有其它用法。如:
① They are raising funds for charity.(raise用作及物动词,意为筹集,募捐。)
② Lucy raised her eyebrows in surprise. (raise ones eyebrows意为扬起眉毛,表示不赞同或惊讶。)
