英语中几种"看"的用法
英语中几种“看”的用法
动词look,see,watch 和read 都有“看”的意思,但它们的用法各不相同。很多同学对它们的用法感到困惑。下面谈谈它们作动词“看”时的区别:
1.look 强调“看”的动作,表示有意识地注意看,但不一定看到,可以单独使用,以提醒对方的注意。例 如:
Look! He is doing his home-work. 看!他正在做作业。
Please look carefully.请仔细看。
注意:look 是个不及物动词,后接宾语时常与介词at 连用,例如: I'm looking at the blackboard now.现在我正在看黑板。
Please look at me.请看着我。
2.see 强调“看”的结果,意为“看见”、“看到”, 一般用作及物动词,后面直接跟名词或代词作宾语 。see 还用于“看病”、 “看电影”、“看展览”、“观光”等固定短语中,例如:
What can you see in the picture? 你在这张图画上看到了什么? It's dark,I can't see.天黑了,我看不见。
I'm going to see a film tomorrow.明天我要去看电影。
You'd better see a doctor. 你最好去看病。
3.watch 是指用心“观看”、“注视”,从而享受到某种乐趣, 多用于“看电视”、“看比赛”、“看戏 剧”、“观看某种游戏”等,例如:
Tom likes watching TV. 汤姆喜欢看电视。
He sat there watching but said nothing.他坐在那儿观看, 一句话也不说。 Mike is watching a basketball game now. 迈克正在看篮球比赛。
4.read 原意是“读”,但汉语中“看报”、“看书”、“看信”等的“看”,在英语中必须用read 表示, 例如:
He is reading a book.他正在看书。
I often read a newspaper after supper. 我经常在晚饭后看报纸。 巩固练习:用look,see,read 或watch 的正确形式填空:
1. __!They are flying kites over there.
2.I'm __a football game now.
3.She wants to__her friend.
4.He is__a letter now.
5.How many pictures can you_on the wall?
6. _me carefully.
7.Please _at the picture.
8.He likes_a book.
答案:1.Look 2.watching 3.see 4.reading 5.see 6. Watch 7.look 8.reading
