2016年英语四级词汇:see、look和watch的区别你可知道?

  寒假结束,英语四级要好好准备了。文都网校为大家提供英语四级词汇,希望能够帮助到大家。

  A:“看,这部电影你看过吗?”

  B:“我看不错”

  C:“看看这个周末你有没有空。”

  D:“看情况吧,不加班的话一起去看看。”

  你能说出上面这个句子出现过多少个“看”,各自又是什么意思吗?

  在中文里,我们习惯将这些动作归在一个“看”上。而在英语中,则大致分为了3个单词:

  see, look, watch

  它们笼统的意思都是“看”,而且有时可以互换。但从核心意思上来说,各自却有很大的不同。比如see强调感官上的视觉,look和watch强调查看的动作,同时它们两个词查看的对象又不同。这一切,该如何理解呢?

  1. See (saw, seen)

  See is a verb of perception, it is a sense. It is automatic and doesn't require a decision to use this sense. It is associated with things that we can't avoid.

  Examples:

  1. Let’s go to see the movie “Batman”.

  2. Have seen Robert today?

  3. I can see the mountains in the distance.

  4. Can you see the whiteboard from your seat?

  Other meanings:

  see-saw 跷跷板

  I see 我明白了

  let me see 让我想想 / 让我看

  2. Look (looked, looked)

  Look and Watch are action verbs that require a decision for you to use them. They never happen automatically.

  Look is used to suggest a direction for your eyes. Usually we use this verb when the things we look at doesn't move.

  Look - camera, prices, mirror, sky.

  Examples:

  1. Look at the map to find where we are.

  2. Don't look at him for the answer - I asked you!

  3. Look at this picture.

  4. I like to look at the stars at night.

  Other meanings:

  look for 搜寻

  have a look 看一眼

  look out 小心

  3. Watch (watched, watched)

  Watch is when we talk about concentrating on something, like a movie or sports. Using watch suggests there is a movement involved, so you can use that for TV or movies.

  Watch - a movie, a TV program, a football match.

  Examples:

  1. I love to watch Grey's Anatomy on Monday night.

  2. My husband watches the replays of the football on the weekend.

  3. I like to sit on the verandah and watch people walk by.

  4. I watch Friends everyday on TV.

  Other meanings:

  watch your back 小心被人暗算

  watch your step 小心脚下

  watch carefully 注意观察

  如果你不是很能理解的话,小编来替你总结一下:

  see 是非主动查看,睁着眼睛就会自动看见东西;

  look 是主动查看的动作,主要是看静态物体;

  watch 是主动查看的动作,主要是看动态物体。

  再来举3个例子:

  你坐着发呆,有一个幽灵从面前漂过,你该喊:“I seea ghost!” (看见东西)

  你的对面坐下来一位美女/帅哥,对方问你在干嘛,你说:“I’m lookingat you.” (观察个体)

  你的身边坐下来一个小偷,贼眉鼠眼、动手动脚的,你警告他说:“I’mwatchingyou.” (观察动作)
