题目

Tom used it to get to work,putting in 60-hour weeks to
____his young family.答案给的是support,我填的是raise,求专家

答案

raise意为“抚养（指人）；饲养（指动物或禽畜）”之意.如： He raised the children himself；his wife died years ago． 他的妻子多年以前就去世了,他一手把孩子拉扯大. He raised those goats from new-born kids．那些羊从小羊羔时就是他喂养的.
support意为“养活”,不用于饲养动物.如： She supports her old mother．她赡养老母亲. He has a large family to support．他要养活一大家子.还有支持的意思
