3. look用作及物动词时主要作“注视”解,引申还可作“留心”“注意”“期望”解,其后可接动词不定式、疑问词引导的从句作宾语。可用于祈使句。
4. look还可用作系动词,其后可接(to be+) n./adj. / v -ed/ prep. -phrase或as if引起的从句作表语,意思是“看起来…”。
5. look作“留心”“注意”解时,常用于look (to it)结构,其后接that从句充当it的同位语。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

I look forward to,I am looking forward to

• 短语look forward to在句中可用于一般现在时,也可用于一般进行时,前者口气较随便,多用在私人信件中;后者口气较正式,常用在公文中。

look for, look forward to, anticipate, expect

• 这组词(组)的共同意思是“期待,等待”。其区别是：
• expect指“等待某事发生”,常有一定的根据,发生的可能性较大；anticipate含有“预先体味”的意味；look for是日常用词,也可表示“期待”；look forward to指以欢乐或焦急的心情期待某事发生。例如:
• I expect to see some fine films during the holidays.我期望假期能看上几部好电影。
• We anticipate that we shall hear from you again.我们预感到将会再接到你的信。
• I think we may look for a better result next time.我想下次结果可能会好一些。
• I'm looking forward to your visit.我期待着你的来访。

look, appear, seem

• 这三个词都可用作系动词,表示“看起来”。其区别是：
• 1.在含义上, appear 强调外表上给人的某种印象,有时含实质上并非如此的意思; look意味着看上去如此,实际亦是如此; seem 则暗示判断有一定根据,这种判断往往接近事实。例如:
• He appears to be very young.
• 他看上去很年轻。(实际上不一定如此)
• He looks to be very young.
• 他看上去很年轻。(实际上也年轻)
• He seems to be very young.
• 他看上去很年轻。(可能他的确很年轻)
• 2.在用法上,这三个词都可跟形容词或“to be+形容词或名词”结构,也可用于It appears〔appeared〕/looks〔looked〕/seems〔seemed〕 as if...结构。但是, appear 和seem跟to- v 时仍表示“看起来”,而look 接to- v 则是“盼望”的意思。例如:
• He appears〔seems〕 to know it.
• 他看来知道这件事。
• He looks to hear from you.
• 他期待你来信。
• 另外, appear 和seem可用于It appears〔appeared〕/seems〔seemed〕 that...结构,而look不能。例如:
• 我看他似乎很喜欢看这部小说。
• ［误］ It looks to me that he enjoys read- ing the novel.
• ［正］ It appears〔seems〕 to me that he enjoys reading the novel.
• 还有, appear 和seem一般不用于进行体; 而look可用现在进行时,这和一般现在时所表示的意思无多大区别。例如:
• You are looking〔look〕 very unhappy.你看起来很不高兴。

look, glance

• 这两个词的共同意思是“看”,都可接介词at。其区别是：
• glance指匆忙地看一眼,也指粗略地、随便看看、暗暗地看; 而look则表示有意识地注意看,将视线集中于某人或某物上,着重于看的动作。例如:
• She felt very nervous with so many people looking at her.这么多人瞧着她,她感到非常紧张。
• I found the child opposite looking at my red hat.我发现对面的孩子在看我的红帽子。

look, see, watch

• 这三个词都有“看”的意思。其区别是：
• look指有意识的“动作”;see指有意或无意的“结果”;watch则指有意识地以期待、警觉等心情看上一段时间。例如:
• We looked but saw nothing.我们看了,可是什么也没看到。
• They are watching a TV play.他们在看电视剧。

look for, discover, find, find out, invent

• 这组词(组)都有“发明”“发现”的意思。discover指发现或偶然发现原来就存在但一直未被认识的东西; look for作“寻找”解时,指寻找的动作和过程; find指寻找的结果,即“找到”,是非延续性动词,不如discover正式; find out指经过观察、调查把某事、某物查出来,搞清楚,弄明白,多用于复杂而不易直接查出的情况; invent指发明原来不存在的东西,有时也可指虚构、捏造。例如:
• Whilhelm Roentgen discovered X rays.威尔海尔姆·伦琴发现了X射线。
• He was amazed to find her there.发现她在那里,他很吃惊。
• Let's try and find out what's at the back of this problems.咱们想法弄清问题的背景是怎样的。
• Whatt invented the steam engine.瓦特发明了蒸汽机。
• She ran across some old letters when she was looking for something else.她找别的东西时,偶然翻出几封过去的信。

下面四个句子意思相同,第1句主要用在英国,第2、4句英美都通用,第3句用在美国。

• He looks an honest man.
• He looks like an honest man.
• He looks to be honest.
• He looks honest.
• 他看上去是个诚实的人。

下面各组中的句子或短语意思不同:

• The old man looks good.
• 那老人外表好。
• The old man looks well.
• 那老人气色好。
• Look out of the window!
• 朝窗外看!

• look my hat over
• 仔细打量我的帽子
• look upon as an authority
• 视为权威
• look up to as an authority
• 尊为权威

n. (名词)

look, air

• 这两个词都可作“样子”解。其区别在于:
• 1.air所表达的表情往往是虚假的; 而look则是真实的。例如：
• 被告说到这件事时带着要保密的样子。
• The accused spoke about it with an air of secrecy.(是装出来的)
• The accused spoke about it with a look of secrecy.(是真情的流露)
• 2.作“神态”讲,即表达抽象概念,只能用air,而不能用look。例如：
• Judy always gives himself airs.朱迪常摆架子(表示抽象概念)。

look, appearance, aspect, countenance, face, features, visage

• 参见face条。

appear，look，seem

• 这些动词均有“看起来，好像是”之意。
• appear指从感观印象看似乎是如此，但有时着重指因视野、观点限制而产生的歪曲印象。
• look指从样子看起来，侧重通过视觉而建立的印象。
• seem多指从主观印象或个反应得出的看法。

appearance，look，face，aspect

• 这些名词均含事物或人的“外表，容貌”之意。
• appearance普通用词，着重由总体产生的印象。
• look普通用词，多用复数，可与appearance换用，但较口语化。
• face侧重指容貌。
• aspect书面用词，突出人或事物在某特定时间或地点时的外貌。

look，see，watch，observe，witness

• 这些动词均有“看”之意。
• look侧重“看”的动作。
• see指看见。
• watch指用眼睛跟随某物，以便对每一个变化、运动等进行观察。
• observe侧重以客观的态度进行观察。
• witness指当场看见，亲眼看见。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 我非常渴望见你。

   误 I am looking forward to see you.

   正 I am looking forward to seeing you.

   析 look forward to中的to是介词,不是动词不定式符号。

2. 他看上去很高兴。

   误 He looks happily.

   误 He is looking happy.

   正 He looks happy.

   析 look用作系动词时其后不跟副词,并且不用于进行体。

3. 他看起来很英俊。

   误 He is looked handsome.

   正 He looks handsome.

   析 look用作系动词时不用于被动结构。

4. 他看起来像只猴子。

   误 He looks as a monkey.

   正 He looks a monkey.

   析 look用作系动词时可跟as if引导的从句,或to be n./adj. 结构, to be有时可省略,但不跟as短语。
