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。 produce verb produce ♦︎ have ♦︎ give birth ♦︎ breed ♦︎ clone ♦︎ reproduce ♦︎ bearThese words all mean to grow sth as part of a natural process, or to have a baby or young animal. 这些词均表示长出、出产、繁育。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆to produce / breed / clone sth from sth◆to produce / have / give birth to / bear a / an child / son / daughter / heir◆to produce / have / give birth to a baby / litter◆to breed / clone animals◆to produce / bear fruit◆to produce sth / breed / clone sth / reproduce successfully■ produce [transitive] (rather formal) to grow or make sth as part of a natural process; to have a baby or young animal 长出；出产；繁育◆The fruit and vegetables are all produced locally.水果和蔬菜都是当地产的。◆These shrubs produce bright red berries.这些灌木结鲜红的浆果。◆Our cat produced a litter of kittens last week.上星期我们的猫生了一窝小猫。◆Her duty was to produce an heir to the throne.她的任务就是生育王位继承人。ⓘ When it is used to talk about having a baby, produce suggests a lack of emotion in the speaker.
