修改原因
修改前As a teenager, I really looked up at my older cousin.
修改后As a teenager, I really looked up to my older cousin.
Look up at 表示抬起眼睛看某个人或某物。所以原句只是在说,十几岁时你抬眼看那位年长的堂亲或表亲。想表达尊重对方、以对方为榜样,要用 look up to,因此把 at 改成 to。
相反的表达是 look down on,表示觉得比别人高一等、看不起别人:Some people look down on anyone who didn't go to university。Look up to 带有尊重,look down on 则表达轻视。
动手练习
Junior doctors ___ Dr Evans because she always stays calm in emergencies.
查看答案
look up to — 年轻医生因为 Dr Evans 在紧急情况下始终冷静而尊重她,所以选 look up to。不带 to 的 look up 可以表示查询信息,例如查词典或上网搜索;“她总能保持冷静”不是这里查询信息的理由。
写一个你敬佩的人。说出对方是谁,并解释你为什么尊重对方。
