词组 | look |
释义 | look If someone directs their eyes towards something, you say that they look at it. Lang looked at his watch. She looked at the people around her. When look has this meaning, it must be followed by 'at'. You do not say, for example, 'Lang looked his watch'. ◊ WARNING Do not confuse look with see or watch. For an explanation of the differences, see entry at ↑ If you want to say that someone shows a particular feeling when they look at someone or something, you indicate this using an adverb, not an adjective. For example, you say 'She looked sadly at her husband'. You do not say 'She looked sad at her husband'. Jack looked uncertainly at Ralph. Wilson looked glumly at Pearson. ◊ 'look and see' If you intend to use your eyes to find out if something is the case, you say that you will see or look and see if it is the case. Have a look at your wife's face to see if she's blushing. Now let's look and see whether that's true or not. You do not say that you will 'look' if something is the case. You can use see to say that you will find out about something, even if you are not talking about using your eyes. For example, you can say 'I'll see if George is in his office', and then find out whether George is in his office by making a phone call there. I'll just see if he's at home. I'll see if I can borrow a car for the weekend. ◊ used to mean 'seem' Look can also be used to mean 'seem' or 'appear'. When you use look like this, you use an adjective after it, not an adverb. For example, you say 'She looked sad'. You do not say 'She looked sadly'. You look very pale. The place looked a bit bare. ◊ WARNING You only use look to mean 'seem' when talking about the appearance of something. |
