rise 和 raise 经常被搞混，大家一定要分清它们哦。

1. rise 用作动词时，意为“升起、上升；起床”等，是不及物动词，其后不能有宾语也不用于被动语态。如：

The sun rises in the east.

The river is rising after the rain.

My parents rise very early.

They all rose (from their seats) to greet us.

注：有时 rise 后跟一个表示“价钱”或“高度”等方面的词，这个词用作状语而不是用作宾语。如：

The river rose a foot in the night.

Rice rose 15 cents in price.

2. rise 可用作名词，表示“增加、上涨、提升”等。如：

There has been a rise in prices.

I’ve got two rises this year.

His rise to power was very rapid.

3. raise 被用作动词，意为“举起、升起；增加；饲养”等，在现代英语中，只用作及物动词，其后应有宾语或用于被动语态。如：

He raised his voice.

I can’t raise the box.

Her wages were raised.

He is a farmer and raises horses.

4. 在美国英语中 raise 也可用作名词，主要指工资增加。如：

I’m going to give you a raise/rise.
