And today, we're gonna look at the difference between raise and rise.

今天，我們要來看 raise 和 rise 兩者間的不同之處 。

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

raise 和 rise 都和某樣東西上升有關，但我們使用這兩個字的方式是不同的。

Raise always needs a direct object – so if you raise something, you move it up.

raise 總是需要一個直接的對象－所以當你舉起某樣東西，你將它往上移動。

For example: I raise my eyebrows when I'm surprised!

例如：當我感到驚訝時我抬起眉毛！

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

而它並不是一定按照字面意思－例如：政府計畫提高稅收。

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

別忘了它是一個規則動詞，因此它的過去式和過去分詞都是 raised。

But with rise, there's no direct object.

不過 rise 就沒有直接對象。

So if something rises, it goes up or increases by itself.

所以如果某樣東西升起，它是自動上升。

The sun rises at 6 a.m. at the moment.

太陽目前在早晨 6 點升起。

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

注意，它是不規則動詞所以過去式是 rose，過去分詞是 risen。
