一分钟分清"raise"和"rise"的差别

你被 “raise” 和 “rise” 困扰过吗？它们都有 “上升” 的意思，但经常被错用。“太阳升起” 和 “提升税收” 怎么说？本期 “一分钟英语” 教你如何正确使用近义词 “raise” 和 “rise”。

Hi, I'm Sian for BBC Learning English. And today, we're going to look at the difference between 'raise' and 'rise'.

So 'raise' and 'rise' both refer to something going up, but there's a difference in how we use them.

'Raise' always needs a direct object – so if youraisesomething, you move it up. For example: I raisemy eyebrows when I'm surprised!

And it doesn't have to be literal – so: The government plan to raisetaxes.

Don't forget this is a regular verb, so the past and past participle are both 'raised'.

But with 'rise', there's no direct object. So if somethingrises, it goes up or increases by itself. The sunrisesat 6 a.m. at the moment.

Careful, this is an irregular verb so the past is 'rose' and the past participle is 'risen'.
