这组词都有“促进,推进”的意思,其区别是:
further中性词,既可指对好事的促进、推进,又可指对坏事的助长。
promote指在某一进程的任何时期或阶段提供积极的帮助与支持。
contribute指能促进事物向前发展的因素,但这种因素并非决定性的。
push口语用词,通常指利用自己的活动或影响推进某事。
advance通常指为加速某一进程或达到某个预期目的而给予有效的促进,强调作出有意识、决定性的努力。
这组词都有“更远(地),进一步(地)”的意思,其区别是:
further也是far的比较级(作为副词,有人认为是fore或forth的比较级),按传统的观点,further表抽象的程度或数量的更进一步,不表实际距离。但现代英语,尤其在非正式语体中,这两个词的意思实际上已没有区别,而且further用得更广泛一些。
farther是far的比较级,指距离、空间或时间上的较远;有时也可指数量上或抽象的程度上的进一步,但不如further普通。
