①n.理由，原因Givemeyourreasonsforgoingthere.Whatwasthereasonforthedelay?作“原因”講時，reason與cause可以互換，但reason與介詞for連用；而cause則與介詞of連用。reason后面通常跟why引導(dǎo)的從句：Thatwasthereasonwhythemeetingwasputoff.②v.推理，勸導(dǎo)，說服reasonwithsb.勸說(以道理)Howcanyoureasonwithhimwhenheissoworried?DropandFalldropvi.&vt.（使）掉下，（使）落下，放下（強調(diào)的是不小心掉下來）

vt.說明主語發(fā)出的動作是要作用于其它事物的，往往有使物體達(dá)到其應(yīng)有的高度的含義?？捎糜诒粍诱Z態(tài)。如：1)養(yǎng)育、栽培：toraiseafamily

2)舉起

raiseone’shand

3)提出問題raiseaquestion

辨析：rise使用范圍廣，既用于具體事物的“上升、增長”，又用于抽象事物的“上漲”raise與以上兩詞不同的是，此詞是及物動詞，表示把某具體事物抬起高處或提高某抽象事物lie，lay1)lie用作規(guī)則動詞(lie，lied，lied)時意為“說謊”。2)lie用作不規(guī)則動詞(lie，lay，lain)時，表示“躺”，“(東西)平放”，“位于”等意。

He'sstilllyinginbed.他還躺在床上。3)動詞lay是不規(guī)則動詞(lay，laid，laid)，及物動詞，后面必須接賓語。表示“放置”“產(chǎn)卵”等多種意思。Helaidhisshoulderonmyshoulder.他把手放在我的肩上。【注意】lay，put，place和set都可用來表示“放置”某一物體。lay表示把某物橫著或攤開著平放。put較普通，指較隨意的放，不強調(diào)所放物體的姿態(tài)，可代替其它幾個動詞。place是比較正式的用語，指有意識地把某物放在較為確定的位置上或安排某物的順序，有時含有較莊重的語氣。set特指把某物垂直著放beat后面接對手:Ibeatyouwin不能接對手Exercise1Everybody(raised)(rose)whenheenteredtheroom.2Ihavebeen(laying)(lying)hereforhalfanhour.3Mrs.Jones(laid)(lay)thetablebeforebreakfast.4.Theaeroplane(raised)(rose)intotheair.5I'mnotverygoodatchess.Healways(wins)(beats)me.6‘Didyou(win)(beat)orlose?’Iasked.
