Be careful not to confuse the verbsgrow up andbring up.grow up is an intransitive verb, and describes the process of becoming an adult.I grew up in rural southern England.Bring up is a transitive verb, and describes the process of looking after and socializing a child....we both felt the town was the perfect place to bring up a family. Note then, that parents do not 'grow up' their children, they 'bring them up'.
不要混淆grow up与bring up。grow up是不及物动词，描述长大成人的过程：I grew up in rural southern England（我在英格兰南部乡村长大）。bring up是及物动词，描述的是养育孩子并使之适应社会的过程：We both felt the town was the perfect place to bring up a family（我们俩都觉得这个小镇是养儿育女的理想之地）。注意：父母养育子女不能说 grow up，只能说bring them up。

v.(动词)

1. grow的基本意思有三:一是“种植”,指培植树木、庄稼等; 二是“生长,发育”,指由于自然地发展而变大或成熟; 三是“渐渐变得”,引申可指“形成”。总起来说,指由小变大、由少变多,强调渐变的过程。
2. grow作“种植”解时是及物动词,接名词或代词作宾语,也可接以名词或形容词充当补足语的复合宾语。
3. grow作“生长”“发育”解时是不及物动词,其后接介词或副词表示各种附加意义。
4. grow作“渐渐变成”解时是不及物动词,其后常接动词不定式作状语,表示结果。有时也可用作系动词,后接名词、形容词(多为比较级)或相当于形容词的过去分词作表语。
5. grow的过去分词grown和现在分词growing都可用作形容词,在句中作定语。

v.(动词)

grow, become, come, go, turn

这组词均可用作系动词,表示“变成”。其区别是：

1.come多指向好的方向转变; go往往指向坏的方面转变; become指向好的(也可指向坏的)方面发展, turn是正式用语,指向好的,也指向坏的方面转变。试比较:

When did that style of dress come into fashion?

那种式样的衣服是什么时候时兴的?

When did that style of dress go out of fashion?

那种式样的衣服是什么时候不时兴的?

2.come的主语往往是人; become的主语可以是人或物; 而go的主语多是物。

3.come的表语通常是形容词; become的表语可以是形容词、代词或名词(须加不定冠词); go和grow的表语为形容词; turn的表语可以是形容词或名词(不加不定冠词)。

grow, boost, elevate, enhance, exalt, highten, hoist, lift, raise

参见raise条。

grow up, bring up, raise, rear

这组词(组)都有“抚养、饲养”的意思。其区别在于：

1.raise是非正式用语,英式英语中指“养动植物”,美式英语中指“抚养人”。

2.rear在英式英语中指“抚养人”,在美式英语中指“养动植物”,既指“从小养到大”,也指“教养”,是正式用语。例如:

The mother reared her children wisely.那位母亲很会教养自己的孩子。

We reared our children to help others.我们教育子女要乐于助人。

She likes rearing birds.她喜欢养鸟。

He used to rear pigs.他以前养猪。

3.bring up是动词短语,作“抚养”解时无语体之分,侧重于童年时期的“精心教养”。例如:

The woman brought up four children alone .那个妇女独自养育了四个孩子。

He was brought up to believe that money is the most important thing in life.他所受的教养使他相信,金钱是生活中最重要的东西。

4.grow up的意思是“成长”,侧重于“达到成熟阶段”。例如:

This bush has grown up a lot in the last few months.这矮树丛几个月来已向上长高了很多。

Jane is growing up so fast,I think she's going to be a tall woman.简长得真快,我想她一定能长成一个高挑儿的姑娘。

Stop acting like a child with your bad temper! Do grow up.别耍小孩子脾气了!快成熟点吧。

下面两句意思不同:

In time you will grow to like him.

以后,你会慢慢喜欢他的。

In time you will grow to be like him.

到后来,你会慢慢像他那样的。

下面各句意思相同:

The girl has grown (up) a beautiful young lady.

The girl has grown (up) into a beautiful young lady.

The girl has grown to be a beautiful young lady.

这个女孩已经长成了一位年轻漂亮的 女子。

become，get，grow，turn，go，come

这些动词均可表示“变成，成为”之意。

become最普通用词，作为连系动词，指从一个状态向另一个状态的变化。

get常指某人或某物有意无意地获得引起变化的因素，结果使变成另一状态。

grow常指逐渐地变成新状态，强调渐变的过程。

turn侧重指变得与原来截然不同，有时含贬义。

go作为连系动词，通常与形容词连用，指进入某种状态，从而发生变化，多指不好的状态。

come侧重变化的经过或过程，多用于不良情况。

sow，plant，grow

这一组动词都与种植有关。

sow意为“播、撒、播种、种”，其后跟（the）seeds或“植物（结成种状的）”。

plant意为“栽、插、移植”，其后跟作物（多为苗状的）。

grow作及物动词时，意为“种植、培植”，后接宾语（不表明种状还是苗状，强调种植后的栽培及管理过程）；作不及物动词时，意为“生长、发育”；作系动词时，意为“变得”。

v.(动词)

越来越小。

误 It grows smaller and smaller.

正 It becomes smaller and smaller.

析 grow表示“变得”这一概念时,表示“由小增大”或“由少增多”,不能表示“减小”或“减少”,表示“减小”“减少”须用become。

他是在乡下长大的。

误 He was grown up in the countryside.

正 He grew up in the countryside.

析 grow up表示“成长”时是不及物动词短语,不能用于被动结构。

她在屋后种了些蔬菜。

误 She plants vegetables behind her house.

正 She grows vegetables behind her house.

析 grow和plant都有“种植”的意思,但grow多用于种植粮食、蔬菜、经济作物等,而plant多用于“植树”。

他越想越生气。

误 The more he thought about it, the more angrily he grew.

正 The more he thought about it, the angrier he grew.

析 grow表示“变得”时是系动词,后接形容词作表语,而不能接副词。

约翰的坏脾气导致了他现在的不幸境地。

误 John's present unfortunate position grew from his bad temper.

正 John's present unfortunate position grew out of his bad temper.

争执常常是由误会引起的。

误 Arguments often grow from misunderstanding.

正 Arguments often grow out of misunderstanding.

析 grow from表示“从…长大”“由…发展”,主语和介词宾语是属于同一范畴、同一属性的东西。而grow后面跟复合介词结构out of意为“由…产生”,主语和介词宾语不一定是同一范畴或同一属性的东西。
