“upright”作动词是规则动词,过去式和过去分词都要加 -ed;原形与形容词同形,容易误以为不变形,但这里要表示过去的动作,所以必须用 uprighted。
Not this

Use this

upright 作动词已含有“使竖直、立起”的方向含义,后面再加 up 是多余且不符合英语搭配;直接接宾语即可。

记忆联想:up(向上)+ right(正)——把倒下的东西“扶正”,就是让它回到“正确向上”的状态。
语域:mixed 常见场景:formal writing、news reports、instruction manuals 作动词时,多用于正式或书面语境(如新闻报道、说明文),日常口语中更常说 “stand something up” 或 “set something upright”。该词语气不算特别正式,但口语中较少单独使用。
以上单词的末尾读音都与 upright 的 -ight 相同,均为 /aɪt/:right、light、night、sight、write、kite。注意 write 虽拼作 -ite,读音也与 right 相同。注意 upright 拼写以 up 开头,但动词 upright 读 /əˈpraɪt/,up 不读 /ʌp/,不要把它误拆成 up + right 来读。
