①n.理由，原因Givemeyourreasonsforgoingthere.Whatwasthereasonforthedelay?作“原因”讲时，reason与cause可以互换，但reason与介词for连用；而cause则与介词of连用。reason后面通常跟why引导的从句：Thatwasthereasonwhythemeetingwasputoff.②v.推理，劝导，说服reasonwithsb.劝说(以道理)Howcanyoureasonwithhimwhenheissoworried?DropandFalldropvi.&vt.（使）掉下，（使）落下，放下（强调的是不小心掉下来）

vt.说明主语发出的动作是要作用于其它事物的，往往有使物体达到其应有的高度的含义。可用于被动语态。如：1)养育、栽培：toraiseafamily

2)举起

raiseone’shand

3)提出问题raiseaquestion

辨析：rise使用范围广，既用于具体事物的“上升、增长”，又用于抽象事物的“上涨”raise与以上两词不同的是，此词是及物动词，表示把某具体事物抬起高处或提高某抽象事物lie，lay1)lie用作规则动词(lie，lied，lied)时意为“说谎”。2)lie用作不规则动词(lie，lay，lain)时，表示“躺”，“(东西)平放”，“位于”等意。

He'sstilllyinginbed.他还躺在床上。3)动词lay是不规则动词(lay，laid，laid)，及物动词，后面必须接宾语。表示“放置”“产卵”等多种意思。Helaidhisshoulderonmyshoulder.他把手放在我的肩上。【注意】lay，put，place和set都可用来表示“放置”某一物体。lay表示把某物横着或摊开着平放。put较普通，指较随意的放，不强调所放物体的姿态，可代替其它几个动词。place是比较正式的用语，指有意识地把某物放在较为确定的位置上或安排某物的顺序，有时含有较庄重的语气。set特指把某物垂直着放beat后面接对手:Ibeatyouwin不能接对手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.
