核心问题
我一直搞不清 look at, see 和 watch 三者之间的区别。
词典解答
look at 一般是指带有目的看,但不一定能看得见或看得清楚。其宾语可以是指人的词语,也可以是指物的词语:
-
look at him/the picture/the food
-
I am looking at the blackboard, but I can't see the words on it. 我在看着黑板,但看不见上面的字。
see 是指眼睛的非主动的行为,强调看见的结果。
-
I see very well without glasses. 我不戴眼镜能看得很清楚。
-
It's dark. I can't see. 太暗了,我看不见。
注意:see 常与 a (the) film/play 搭配,表示“看电影”“看剧”:
They are not sure if they're going to see the film. 他们不能肯定是不是要去看电影。
watch 是指全神贯注地去看、去观察,而且表示这个动作要持续一段时间,如 watch TV, watch a game(match), watch sb. do/doing:
-
Watch how I do this. 看我怎么做。
-
The mother watched her children play. 母亲看着她的孩子们玩耍。
