Look up 是什么意思?查资料时为什么说 look it up

Look up 表示查找具体信息,也可以表示抬头看。宾语是单词名称时位置灵活,但换成 it 后,只能放在 look 和 up 中间。

Look up 表示查找信息,例如词典中的单词、电话号码或时刻表。它强调在参考书、应用或搜索引擎中查询一个具体事实。另一种常见意思是字面的抬眼看:She looked up from her book。

想在对话中用 look up 吗?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

look up + word/number/information; look it/them up; look up from + book/screen

  • I looked up the opening hours online before we drove to the museum.
  • Whenever I see a new word in an article, I look it up and write my own example.
  • She looked up from her laptop when her manager walked in.

修改原因

修改前If you don't know the word, look up it in the dictionary.

修改后If you don't know the word, look it up in the dictionary.

It、them 等代词放在 look 和 up 之间:look it up。普通名词则有两种顺序:look up the word 和 look the word up。虽然把宾语放在末尾看起来合理,但代词不能写成 look up it。

Cambridge Dictionary

Look for 表示寻找丢失或尚未找到的东西:I'm looking for my keys。Look up 则是从词典、时刻表或搜索引擎中查询具体信息。找丢失的钥匙不用 look up。

动手练习

I didn't know the word 'reluctant', so I ___ in an online dictionary.

(looked it up / looked up it)

查看答案

looked it up — It 必须放在 looked 和 up 之间,因此选 looked it up。这个短语与 it、them 等代词搭配时,就是这样的顺序;looked up it 即使能猜到意思,结构仍然不对。

最近旅行或参加重要会议前,你查过什么信息?写出具体查询内容,以及在哪里查到。

Before my job interview, I looked up the company's latest news on its website.
