Raise is more frequent than rear in American English. There is also a slight difference in emphasis: rear is often used when emphasizing information about the animals' treatment and living conditions; raise is often used when talking about an animal or crop as a product, for example in farming. 在美式英语中raise比rear更常用。这两个词的侧重点也有细微差别：强调对待动物的方式和动物的生存条件时常用rear，把动物或作物当作农业经营的产出来看待时则用raise。 |
