籌集Raise the stakes意味著增加諸如挑戰之類的風險,難度和水平。這種表達來自撲克遊戲,當玩家raise the stakes, increase their bet他們贏或輸的潛在金錢也會增加。通常, raise the stakes意味著您有很多潛在的回報或損失。例子: We can't afford to raise the stakes. If we lose, we go home with nothing. (我們不能冒險。如果我們輸了,我們會空手而歸。)例子: She likes to play it safe. When others raise the stakes, she backs out. (她喜歡安全地踢球。如果其他人提高了賭注,她總是掉隊。)
