Incite, rouse, provoke, inflame are verbs meaning to goad or inspire an individual or a group to take some action or to express some feeling. 



Incite and rouse are similar in that, although they can imply in some contexts abrasive (有研磨作用的) or inflammatory arousal of violent or uncontrolled behavior, neither necessarily does so. 



Incite means simply to induce activity, of whatever kind: incited to greater effort by encouragement; incited to [riot]. 



Rouse has an underlying sense of awakening: to rouse the [a]pathetic soldiers to a [determination] to win; to rouse the [in]attentive public to an [awareness] of the danger. 



Provoke implies a sense of challenge or irritation along with arousal and often suggests a resultant anger or violence: provoked by [scathing] (傷害的) references to his accomplishments; to provoke a wave of [resentment]. 



Inflame, with its root sense to set afire, implies a resultant intensity and passion: to inflame a [mob] by fiery speeches; He was inflamed to [rage] by constant frustration. 



—Antonyms 

discourage.
