一、extend是指扩大范围,在科技论文写作中常用于描述研究范围、作用范围、影响范围的扩大,例如:
The authors extended their work to a wider area.(作者把他们的工作扩大到了更宽的领域。)

The life cycle of tokens is extended to a whole year. (令牌的生命周期已经扩大到一整年。)
Online services extended into every aspect of our lives.(在线服务扩大到了我们生活的各个方面。)
extend 有时也指扩大规模,例如:
When we extend the dataset to include thousands of images, the generalization error drops dramatically. (当我们把数据集扩大到几千张图片时,泛化误差就急剧下降。)
二、expand指扩大规模,例如:
The memory is expanded largely to accommodate much more data and increase the speed of operation. (内存大规模扩展以存储更多数据并提高运算速度。)
For eliminating the generalization error, we should collect more images to expand the size of the dataset.(为了消除泛化误差,我们应该多采集图片以扩展数据集。)
An alternative approach to enhance the viability of the C3I system is to expand the number of the radars involved. (提高C3I系统生存能力的另一个方法就是扩大所使用雷达的数量。)
Obviously, if we expand the size of the set of candidate passwords, the probability that dictionary guessing attacks succeed will decrease. (显然,当我们增加口令集合的大小时,字典猜测攻击成功概率将会降低。)
三、enlarge 指直接扩大一个实体,用法比较简单:
