boost
1. 英英释义：something that gives someone more confidence, or that helps something increase, improve, or become successful
2. 理解："boost"可以作动词也可以作可数名词，意思是“增强、促进、刺激”。我们前不久学习了它的动词用法，今天来掌握它的名词用法。和它动词用法相比，boost作名词在外媒中出现的频率要低一些，不过还是值得掌握。boost前面一般接动词get, receive, give, privide等动词，后面一般接to和for这两个介词，后面接的常见名词有economy, sales, confidence, morale, productivity等。
boost两种词性用法改写：
（新的港口建成后无疑可以促进当地经济的发展）
1) The new port will undoubtedly boost local economy.
2) The new port will undoubtedly be a boost to local economy.
3) The new port will undoubtedly give local economy a boost.
4) The new port will undoubtedly provide local economy with a boost.
3. 应用：
