短语动词

Look at 是什么意思?看、查看,为什么不是 look on?

Look at 可以表示把目光转向某物,也可以表示查看。Look on 并非不存在,但只换一个介词,就不再是请对方看着你的意思。

Look at 表示有意把目光转向某个人或物:Look at this map。第二个意思是查看、研究或检查:The doctor looked at my knee。

想在对话中用 look at 吗?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

look at + person/thing; look at + problem/plan/essay; take a look at + noun

  • Look at this photo from our trip to Scotland: we had perfect weather all week.
  • Everyone looked at the screen when the exam results appeared.
  • The teacher looked at my essay and suggested a clearer introduction.

修改原因

修改前Why are you looking on me like that?

修改后Why are you looking at me like that?

On 看起来可能是自然的选择,但英语说看着某人或某物,用 look at:look at me, look at the board。Look on 的确存在,但意思不同,是在旁边观看而不参与。这里把 on 改成了 at。

Cambridge Dictionary

Look at、look for 和 see 容易混淆。Look at 强调把目光投向眼前的东西;look for 是寻找暂时找不到的东西:I'm looking for my glasses。See 可以表示看见、注意到:I saw a fox in the garden。看电影或比赛时,watch 强调持续观看;see a film 或 see a match 也可以成立,重点有所不同。

动手练习

Before I send this email to the client, could you ___ it and check the tone?

(look at / look for)

查看答案

look at — 邮件已经写好,现在请同事通读并检查语气,因此 look at 合适。Look for 表示寻找,但这封邮件并没有丢,已经准备好等待发送。

请同事或朋友查看一份简历、一张照片或一份演示文稿。使用 look at,并明确说明需要检查什么。

Could you look at my CV tonight and check if all the dates are correct?
