    小知识

    If you plant a seed, water it daily and give it lots of light, you nurture it until it is ready to be transplanted outside. When you nurture a person or thing, you care for it and help it to grow.

    After a fight with your friend, you may have to nurture the relationship a little until you're close again. Use the phrase “nature versus nurture” to help you remember the word. Nature is a baby just out of the womb. Nurture is how that baby is raised or taken care of.

    单词用法

    词语辨析
    nurture，cherish，cultivate，foster，nurse。
    这组词都可以表示“照料或培育某人或某事”。它们的区别在于：nurse通常指养育婴儿或幼兽或照料无力自顾的病人；cherish着重指抚育或爱护；cultivate则指培养某种理想中的事物或感情；foster指鼓励、扶植或促进某事物的增长和发展；nurture则强调对后来发展起决定作用的教养或训练。例如：All her time goes into nursing her old father.她的全部时间都用来看护她的老父亲。They have cherished the child as one of their own.他们把这个小孩当作自己的亲生子女来抚养。He cultivates an appreciation of abstract art.他培养对抽象艺术的鉴赏力。The mother tried to foster her son's interest in music by taking him to concerts when he was young.母亲设法培养儿子对音乐的兴趣，在他很小的时候就带他去参加音乐会。Nurture your mind with good reading.以优秀的读物来发展你的心智。
