<< review queue entry 68338 - submitted by 'samsara' >> Definition 1: 日本强调正在努力协助抚养儿童的父母，以推升不断下滑的生育率。 Definition 2: 一次不合理的出价便能推升与许多人相关的价格。 当然，从长远看，燃烧更多化石燃料将推升医疗保健成本，并阻碍工人生产率的提高。 --------------------------------- Editor: "raise prices" makes it sound like it's done by someone whose intention is to make prices higher. E.g. "Martin Shkreli raised the price of each drug substantially." 推升, on the other hand, seems to be used when various *factors* (usually not a *person*) cause something to rise. 各方面因素匯集，對張惠妹人氣的推升， Spotlights from all quarters were trained on A-Mei, causing her popularity to skyrocket. 中國富豪或許不是推升房價的始作俑者，最近幾年台灣房市景氣早已熱翻天， But it's not like Taiwanese real-estate prices weren't rising before the mainlanders visited. In fact, they've been soaring for the last several years, 「原本豪宅應是針對金字塔頂端設計的珍稀商品，但台北縣市現在卻處處是豪宅，不但產品本身根本不符合頂級商品應有的建材、設計、設備及社區規劃等高標要求，也連帶推升了一般住宅市場的價格，加上外資炒作，才造成房價的不正常飆漲，」張金鶚說。 "Luxury apartments should be rarities designed for those at the top of the wealth pyramid," says Chang. "But there are luxury apartments all over Taipei City and County these days. These not only fail to meet the high standards of top-tier products in terms of materials, design, amenities and location, but are also pumping up the prices of ordinary apartments. These apartments, together with the foreign capital that has poured into the market, account for the abnormal skyrocketing of home prices." 在外商及台商紛紛前往東協投資，推升越南紡織產業向中、上游轉型升級之際， As foreign and Taiwanese firms flock to invest in ASEAN countries, pushing Vietnam's textile industry upwards into the mid- and upstream sectors, 將產業結構推升到新階段， If firms in Taiwan can come up with new products, new technologies, 推升經濟發展？ further our economic development? ------------------------ It can sometimes be a *physical* lift: 推升出來的清水斷崖， "with colliding tectonic plates pushing up this cliff at the interface between the mountains and the sea." |
