 ♣ see sb/sth to/-v, see sb/sth v-ing, see sb/sth v-ed
　see　可接以动词不定式、现在分词、过去分词充当补足语的复合宾语，但意义上有区别：
1. 接动词不定式时表示动作的全过程；接现在分词只表示动作过程的一部分；而接过去分词则表示已经完成的动作，含有被动意义。例如：
　I saw her put the key in the lock, turn it and open the door.　我看见她把钥匙插进锁眼，转动钥匙，把门打开。
　I saw the train coming into the station.　我看见火车开进站来。
　He saw the man knocked down by a car.　他看到那男子被汽车撞倒了。
2. 有时动词不定式单纯表示事实，而现在分词则具有描写色彩。试比较：
　
 ♣ see, call, drop in, visit
　参见call条。
 ♣ see, look, watch
　参见look条。
 ♣ see, eye
　这两个词的共同意思是“看”。它们的区别是：
1. see强调看到的结果。
2. eye则带有某种感情色彩，如“瞪着眼睛看”等。例如：
　She eyed him from top to toe.　她从头到脚打量他。
　They eyed each other's newly bought shoes.　他们看着彼此新买的鞋。
 ♣ see, observe, perceive
　这三个词都可表示“察觉”。它们之间的区别是：see是一般用语，指意识到眼前的东西，但不一定有意去注意或加以识别；perceive是正式用语，含有有意识地去注意或识别所见东西的意思；observe则表示有意识地察看。试比较以下三个句子的含义：
　
 ♣ see, appreciate, comprehend, understand
　这组词都有“明白”或“理解”的意思。其区别在于：
1. see的基本意思可指一般视觉的“看见”，也可指有意识地“观察”，引申可表示由观察而“领会”“理解”。
2. comprehend指用智力充分而完全地理解事物的内在含义。例如：
　The child read the story but didn't comprehend its full meaning.　那孩子看了这篇故事，但没有理解它的全部意思。
　If you can use a word correctly and effectively you comprehend it.　如果你能正确、有效地使用一个词，你就是了解它了。
3. understand则是明白别人说的话，完全了解某种事实。例如：
　My wife doesn't understand me.　我的妻子不理解我。
　I've read the letter but I don't understand it.　这封信我已经看过了，可是看不懂。
4. appreciate指对某物有较深的理解能力，强调“欣赏”。例如：
　She appreciated a work of art.　她欣赏一件艺术品。
　I am incapable of appreciating classical music.　我不会欣赏古典音乐。
 ♣ 下面两句意思有细微区别：
　

1. 这老妇人从头到脚地看他。
　［误］ The old woman saw him from head to foot.
　［正］ The old woman looked at him from head to foot.
　［析］ look at和 see都有“看”的意思。前者侧重“看”的动作和过程，后者强调“看”的结果。
2. 你气色很好，我从来没看见你气色这样好过。
　［误］ You look so well. I've never seen you to look so well before.
　［正］ You look so well. I've never seen you look so well before.
　有人看见那贼走进一家杂货店。
　［误］ The thief was seen come into a grocery.
　［正］ The thief was seen to come into a grocery.
　［析］ 在主动语态中， see后面可以接不定式作补语，不带to；被动语态中则须带to.
3. 我们看见书店前一大群人在等着买那本书。
　［误］ We saw crowds of people waited outside the bookshop wanting to buy the book.
　［正］ We saw crowds of people waiting outside the bookshop wanting to buy the book.
　［析］ see动词后可以接现在分词或过去分词构成复合宾语。现在分词表示宾语的一个主动、正在执行的动作。
4. 数以千计的人在机场给他们送行。
　［误］ Thousands of people were at the airport to see off them.
　［正］ Thousands of people were at the airport to see them off.
　［析］ see...off意为“为…送行”，它的宾语是人称代词时，需放在see off之间。
5. 我每天吃过晚饭就看电视。
　［误］ I see television after dinner every day.
　［正］ I watch television after dinner every day.
　［析］ 习惯上，“看电视”应该说 watch television，而不使用see television.
6. 我临窗站着，望着人们匆匆走过。
　［误］ I stood by the window, seeing people passing by in a hurry.
　［正］ I stood by the window, watching people passing by in a hurry.
　［析］ see作“看见”讲，是瞬间的动作，一般不用于进行体。watch表示持续性动作，可用于进行体。
7. 穿过窗户，我只能看见屋顶。
　［误］ Through the window, I was seeing nothing but roofs.
　［正］ Through the window, I could see nothing but roofs.
　我看到了海。
　［误］ I see the sea.
　［误］ I am seeing the sea.
　［正］ I can see the sea.
　［正］ I could see the sea.
　［析］ 当see表示“看见”时，是表示知觉的动词，通常不用一般现在时或进行时，而常常用 can see或 could see来表示“（当时）看到”，一般现在时表示将来动作。
8. 如果我负责扫地，你是否负责擦窗户?
　［误］ If I'll see to sweep the floor, will you see to clean the windows?
　［正］ If I'll see to sweeping the floor, will you see to cleaning the windows?
　［析］ see to表示“负责，注意”，其中to是介词，所以 see to后面应跟动名词，而不能跟动词不定式。
9. 务必使你班上的每个学生都拿到一本新词典。
　［误］ See it that each student in your class gets a copy of the new dictionary.
　［正］ See to it that each student in your class gets a copy of the new dictionary.
　［正］ See that each student in your class gets a copy of the new dictionary.
　［析］ see to it that...是动词 see的一个常用句型，作“务必要”解，这里的 to不能省略，但在口语中常将 to it一起省去，仅说see that...。
10. 他骗不了她；她每次都能识破他的骗局。
　［误］ He can't fool her; she sees him through every time.
　［正］ He can't fool her; she sees through him every time.
　［析］ 短语see through表示“看透”或“识破”， through在此为介词，宾语应置于through后。
11. 我很高兴，见到了你的妈妈。
　［误］ I am glad to see your mother.
　［正］ I am glad to have seen your mother.
　［析］ 当不定式to see所表示的动作发生在谓语所表示的动作之前时，该不定式就要用完成式 have seen.
12. 现在你明白我的意思了吗?
　［误］ Now you are seeing what I mean?
　［正］ Now you see what I mean?
　［析］ see作“明白、领会、理解”解时，不能与进行时连用。
