 ♣ increase by, increase to
　这两个短语的含义和用法并不相同。increase by指纯增数，而increase to则指增加后达到的数，即总数。increase by后一般接表示倍数和百分比的词，间或也接数词，而increase to后接数词，间或也接其他名词。
 ♣ increase, amplify, augment, enlarge, magnify
　这组词的共同意思是“扩大，延伸”。其区别是：enlarge指面积与范围的扩大，不能用以指重量、速度、时间的增大；increase可指距离、面积、力量、程度的增大，还可指数量、信心等增大和事物强度的加大，特别常用于统计方面；augment属于庄重用语，很少用来说明房屋、土地等物质的东西，通常用来表示势力、权势、财产、幸福、刑罚等增加或扩大；amplify是正式用语，在科技方面常指声音的扩大或电磁波的增强，也可指资料内容的增加；magnify指不从实际上，仅从外观上扩大某物，在俚语中， magnify有夸大事实、虚夸之义。例如：
　His strength will increase when his health improves.　他的健康好转后，体力也会增加的。
　When sound is amplified, it can be heard a greater distance.　声音一放大，可能传得更远。

　He often magnifies himself against others.　他常用抬高自己贬低对方的方法反对别人。
 ♣ increase, add
　两者均可表示“增加”。其区别在于：前者主要指自身数量、重量、价值、程度、力量等增加，多用于不可触知的事物；而后者是指将某物加在另一物上，使之在数量、体积、重要性等方面有所增加。例如：
　We had better increase the amount.　我们最好把数量再增加一些。
