请问各位,keep up with与catch up with有什么区别?最好能举几例,谢谢!

keep up with的意思是“跟上”,也就是说,原来是同一水平或速度,别人加快了,你也加快跟上:He started to walk faster and the children had to run to keep up with him.他走的更快了,孩子们得跑步跟上他。Wages are failing to keep up with inflation.工资没能跟上通货膨胀。catch up with的意思是“追上”,也就是说,原来是在后面,你得加快追上:Will Chinese industry ever catch up with American innovations?中国工业会赶上美国的创新吗?

概念的区别:keep up with的意思是“跟上”,两者水平相当,其中一个抓紧努力。catch up with的意思是“追上,赶上”,在落后的情况下赶上。也有追捕的意思。
