promote和increase的区别?
在哪个场合应该用哪个词.

promote促进, 发扬, 提升, 提拔, 晋升为
比如:
promote growth [prosperity, understanding]
促进增长[繁荣, 了解]
be promoted (to be [to the rank of]) first mate
被提为大副
Several banks promoted the company.
好几家银行创办了这个公司。
The boy was promoted to the fourth grade.
这个男孩升到四年级。
The company are promoting their new products on television.
这家公司在电视上宣传他们的新产品。
increase强调的是增加物体的量(具体指数量)
increase往往是用在动词不定式中的时候,虽然raise 的意义也差不多,但是一般不用raise做替换。比如说,可以说 the wokers want to increase/raise their incomes.但是 一般是这样,the workers want their incomes to increase.而不用raaise。因为increase 着重点是在表达数据

PROMOTE是提升,促进的意思,而INCREASE是增加,更多用在数目上,场合自己斟酌.INCREASE和数字联系比较多.
