raise

1、raise 是"把别的东西弄高"，后面必须带东西：raise your hand 举手、raise money 筹钱、raise prices 提价、raise a child 养大孩子、raise a question 提出问题。
2、和 rise 配成对记最省：rise 是自己升(The sun rises)，raise 是升别的(raise the flag)。raise、rise、rear 本是同一来源。
3、最常错的两处：价钱自己往上走要用 rise(The prices rose)，不能用 raise；名词"加薪"英式说 a rise、美式说 a raise。

raise

Pickering (1816) has a long passage on the use of raise and grow in reference to crops. He writes that in the U.S. raise is used of persons, in the sense "brought up," but it is "never thus used in the Northern States. Bartlett [1848] adds that it "is applied in the Southern States to the breeding of negroes. It is sometimes heard at the North among the illiterate; as 'I was raised in Connecticut,' meaning brought up there."
