词语用法

v. (动词)

1. increase的基本意思是“增加,扩大”,可指由于自然繁殖导致数目的增加,也可指人为地增大体积,增加财富、工资、数量、力量、强度、速度、尺寸或权力、影响。
2. increase可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时接名词或代词作宾语。
3. increase后接介词by时表示增加的具体数量; 后接介词in时表示在某方面的增加; 后接介词to时表示“增加到…”; 后接介词with时表示“随…增长”。
4. increase的过去分词increased和现在分词increasing都可用作形容词,在句中作定语。

n. (名词)

1. increase用作名词的读音为 ［'inkriːs］ ,意思是“增加,增大,增多”,可指抽象的“增加”,也可具体地指钱的增加额、冷热的增加程度或人口、工作等的增加量或事态达到某种程度等。
2. increase既可用作可数名词,也可用作不可数名词。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

increase by, increase to

• 这两个短语的含义和用法并不相同。increase by指纯增数,而increase to则指增加后达到的数,即总数。increase by后一般接表示倍数和百分比的词,间或也接数词,而increase to后接数词,间或也接其他名词。

increase, amplify, augment, enlarge, magnify

• 这组词的共同意思是“扩大,延伸”。其区别是：
• enlarge指面积与范围的扩大,不能用以指重量、速度、时间的增大; increase可指距离、面积、力量、程度的增大,还可指数量、信心等增大和事物强度的加大,特别常用于统计方面; augment属于庄重用语,很少用来说明房屋、土地等物质的东西,通常用来表示势力、权势、财产、幸福、刑罚等增加或扩大; amplify是正式用语,在科技方面常指声音的扩大或电磁波的增强,也可指资料内容的增加; magnify指不从实际上,仅从外观上扩大某物,在俚语中, magnify有夸大事实、虚夸之义。例如:
• His strength will increase when his health improves.他的健康好转后,体力也会增加的。
• When sound is amplified, it can be heard a greater distance.声音一放大,可能传得更远。
• He augments his wages by working in his free time.他在空闲时间加班以增加工资。
• I want to enlarge the lawn.我要扩大草坪的面积。
• He often magnifies himself against others.他常用抬高自己贬低对方的方法反对别人。

increase, add

• 两者均可表示“增加”。其区别在于:前者主要指自身数量、重量、价值、程度、力量等增加,多用于不可触知的事物; 而后者是指将某物加在另一物上,使之在数量、体积、重要性等方面有所增加。例如:
• We had better increase the amount.我们最好把数量再增加一些。
• I increased the amount of water to be added during cooking.烧饭时我增加了该加的水量。

n. (名词)

increase in, increase of

• 这两个短语意思不同。increase in指本身的增加,并未指出增加多少,而increase of则指增大的值。

下列各个短语的意思相同:

• increase a tax of ten per cent
• a tax increase by ten per cent
• a ten per cent increase in tax
• an increase in tax of ten per cent
• a ten per cent tax increase
• 增加10%的税

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 这些机器把生产率提高了三倍。

   误 These machines increased three-fold.

   正 These machines increased productivity three-fold.

2. 今年的产量已经增加了20％。

   误 The production of this year has increased 20 percent.

   正 The production of this year has increased by 20 percent.

   析 increase用作及物动词时,它的宾语是具体事物,不是数字。用作不及物动词时,要表达增长的数字,须加介词by。

n. (名词)

1. 人口在不断地增加。

   误 There was a steady increase of population.

   正 There was a steady increase in population.

   析 increase表示“在…方面有增加”要用in。decrease(减少), drop(下降), rise(增长), fall(下跌)等词,有相同用法,这些单词之后都要用in。

词源解说
