uphold, advocate, support

这组词的共同意思是“支援,赞助”。其区别在于:support指道义上或物质上支持某人,也可指对一项事业的支持或赞助; advocate指通过发表演说或写文章来表示支持、拥护,常暗示提倡某事或为某事辩护; uphold指把快要倒下的东西扶直并撑稳,引申指支持正受到攻击或挑战的某人或某事。例如:

I was supported by him both materially and spiritually.我既得到了他的物质支持,也得到了他的精神支持。

He advocated building more good roads.他主张修筑更多的好公路。

He upheld his brother's honor.他维护他兄弟的名誉。

uphold, hold up

这两个词(组)的共同意思是“支持”“承受”,指支撑重量时两者可换用。例如:

Stout columns uphold〔hold〕 up the roof.牢固的柱子支撑着屋顶。

The building's heavy roof was upheld〔held〕 up by four columns.建筑物沉重的屋顶靠四根柱子支撑着。其区别是：

1.uphold常用作引申义,指人对某事的支持、对制度的维护等; hold up几乎不用于比喻义。例如:

They upheld our opinions.他们支持我们的意见。

The Supreme Court is expected to uphold the death sentence.预计最高将维持死刑的原判。

2.hold up可作“举起 ”解, uphold无此义。例如:

He held up the map so it could be seen more clearly.他举起地图,这样可以看得更清楚些。
