词义辨析

v. (动词)

promote, advance, further

• 这三个词的共同意思是“促进”,都用作及物动词。它们之间的区别是：
• 1.advance强调的是效果; promote强调的是外界的有利条件。例如：
• Selfless patriots advanced the cause of liberation.无私的爱国者促进了解放事业的发展。
• A good example serves to promote good manners in the young.好榜样可促使青年人讲礼貌。
• 2.advance的动机一般是好的; 而promote有时指带有特殊动机的援助。例如：
• He promoted his own welfare at the expense of others.他不惜以他人利益为代价换取自己的利益。
• 3.promote一般指发展积极因素; advance主要指发展积极因素,偶尔可指消极的副作用; further则不带任何色彩,既可指发展积极因素,也可指追求消极目的。例如：
• We'll do all we can to further your plans.我们将竭尽全力推进你的计划。
• Crisis conditions furthered the spreading of rumours.危机更加剧了这种谣言的传播。

词源解说
