為了方便同學(xué)們的學(xué)習(xí)，小編為大家準(zhǔn)備了BEC高級(jí)商務(wù)寫作指南：易混淆詞匯辨析，希望以下內(nèi)容能夠?yàn)橥瑢W(xué)們的BEC商務(wù)英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力備考提供幫助!

1. raise和rise的辨析

When used as a verb they both have the same general meaning of "to move upwards", the main difference is that rise is an intransitive verb (it does not take an object), while raise is a transitive verb (it requires an object):

當(dāng)raise和rise做動(dòng)詞用時(shí)，兩者都有“抬高、提升”的意思，其區(qū)別在于rise是不及物動(dòng)詞（后面不加賓語(yǔ)），而raise是及物動(dòng)詞（后面要加賓語(yǔ)）。

rise (v) Something rises by itself.

rise（動(dòng)詞），自動(dòng)升起

Example 1: The sun rises in the east.

例1：太陽(yáng)從東方升起。

Example 2: Luther rose slowly from the chair.

例2：盧瑟慢慢從椅子上站起身來(lái)。

Example 3: I will rise tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. to walk the dog.

例3：我明天早上要6點(diǎn)起來(lái)去遛狗。

Rise is an irregular verb: rise / rose / risen

rise是一個(gè)不規(guī)則動(dòng)詞，其變化形式是rise/rose/risen。

raise (v) Something else is needed to raise something.

Raise（動(dòng)詞），把某物舉起

Example 1: Linda raised her hand.

例1：琳達(dá)舉起了手。

Example 2: The government is going to raise taxes.

例2：政府要加稅。

Example 3: He raised himself into a sitting position.

例3：他起身坐了起來(lái)。

Raise is a regular verb: raise / raised / raised

raise是規(guī)則動(dòng)詞，其變化形式是raise/raised/raised。

2. assume、know和think的辨析

To assume is a regular verb that means to suppose something to be the true, but without proof.

Assume是一個(gè)規(guī)則動(dòng)詞，意思是假設(shè)某事是真的，但并沒(méi)有真憑實(shí)據(jù)。

Example: I assume you're here to learn English.

例句：我假設(shè)你來(lái)這里是來(lái)學(xué)英語(yǔ)的。

To know is an irregular verb that means to be absolutely certain or sure about something, usually through observation, inquiry, or information.

Know是一個(gè)不規(guī)則動(dòng)詞，意思是完全確信、肯定某事，通常是通過(guò)觀察、詢問(wèn)或各種信息得出的結(jié)果。

Example: I know I should practise English every day, but I never seem to have the time.

例句：我知道我應(yīng)該每天練習(xí)英語(yǔ)，但我似乎從來(lái)都找不到時(shí)間來(lái)這么做。

To think is an irregular verb that means to have a particular opinion, belief, or idea about someone or something.

Think是一個(gè)不規(guī)則動(dòng)詞，意思是對(duì)某人或某事有一種特別的觀點(diǎn)、信念或想法。

Example: I think English is a global language.

例句：我認(rèn)為英語(yǔ)是一種全球通用語(yǔ)。

Note - If you need to remember which one to use, memorise this sentence: Why do some people assume they know what other people think about something?

提示：如果你想記住這三個(gè)詞的區(qū)別的話，記住下面這個(gè)例句就行了：為什么有些人自認(rèn)為他們知道別人在想些什么？
