look
★★★★★
🇺🇸 /lˈʊk/
🇬🇧 [lɵk]
look 主要表示“看、留意”,也可表示“外表、神情”以及“看起来像”;此外还可作姓氏或名字。
💡 记忆钩子
把 look 想成“把目光投出去”:先是用眼睛看、提醒别人注意;目光进一步落到事物上,就能表示寻找、观察和确认;从别人“看上去”的样子,又引申出外表、神情和“看起来……”的判断。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“看”“看起来”“寻找”和名词“外表、神情”这几条主线,再接触较少见的引申义。
- 不要把 look 只理解成“看”;look like 表示“看起来像”,而 look for 表示“寻找”,介词不同会改变意思。
📖 中文释义
intj
-
core 注意听📖 把对方的注意力“拉过来”,提醒他认真听你要说的话。💡 常用句型是“look, + 句子”。这里是口语中的提示语,不要把它误译成要求对方寻找某个东西;正式场合可换成更礼貌的提醒表达。Look, I need to tell you something important.听着,我得告诉你一件重要的事。
name
-
common 姓氏📖 这是由名字 Luke 转化而来的英语姓氏,不表示“看”。💡 用于人名时首字母大写,通常直接放在名字后面作为姓。不要因为拼写相同就把姓氏 look 当作普通动词或名词理解。Ms Look will lead the meeting today.卢克女士今天将主持会议。
name
-
common 中文姓氏📖 这是中文姓氏“陆”的一种英语拼写,不表示英语里的“看”。💡 作为人名时首字母大写,具体读法和拼写习惯可能随个人或地区而不同。看到它出现在姓名中时,应优先按姓氏处理,不要按普通词义翻译。Dr Look published a new study.陆博士发表了一项新研究。
noun
-
core 看一看📖 指把目光投向某处的一次动作,或为了看清楚而进行的查看。💡 常见句型是“have/take a look at + 名词”。它比单说动词更像“看一下、查看一下”,不能直接用来表示“寻找”而省掉相应结构。Can I have a look at your new phone?我可以看一下你的新手机吗?
-
common 外表📖 指一个人或事物呈现在眼前的整体样子,尤其是人的外貌和穿着。💡 表示人的外貌时常用复数 looks,如“have good looks”。表示一次查看时用单数 look,不要把两种数混用;描述外表时语气可中性,也可能暗含评价。often pluralThe new design has a clean, modern look.这个新设计看起来简洁而现代。
-
common 神情📖 指通过眼神或面部表情流露出来的态度、情绪或判断。💡 常见句型是“give someone a + 形容词 + look”,例如表示生气、怀疑或惊讶的神情。这里通常指一眼表现出的态度,不是单纯“看某人”。She gave me a worried look.她忧心忡忡地看了我一眼。
looks
plural
verb
-
core 看;注视📖 用眼睛把注意力投向某人或某物,是 look 最基本的动作义。💡 常见句型是“look at + 人或物”,也可单独用 look 表示朝某方向看。中文说“看某物”时容易漏掉 at;若表示寻找,应改用 look for。intransitiveLook at that bird on the fence.看篱笆上的那只鸟。He looked out the window.他朝窗外看去。
-
common 看;注意看📖 用带有强调的方式让某人注意某个结果或场面,相当于“看你做的事!”。💡 常见句型是“look what/how + 句子”,多用于口语中的惊讶、责备或强调。这里的 what 或 how 引出后面的内容,不能机械地按“看某物”处理。colloquial transitiveLook what you did to the cake!看看你把蛋糕弄成什么样了!
-
core 看起来;似乎📖 根据眼前看到的迹象作出判断,表示某事似乎会发生或似乎是真的。💡 常见句型是“it looks like + 名词或句子”以及“it looks as if + 句子”。不要把这里的 look 理解成实际转动眼睛,而要理解为“从迹象看起来”。It looks like the bus is going to be late.看起来这趟公交车要晚点了。
-
core 看起来是;显得📖 某人或某物呈现出某种性质或状态,重点在外观给人的印象。💡 常见句型是“look + 形容词”,如 look tired 或 look beautiful。形容词直接放在 look 后面,不要说成 look like tired;若后面是名词,才用 look like。copulativeYou look tired today.你今天看起来很累。The room looks much brighter now.这个房间现在看起来明亮多了。
-
common 寻找📖 把目光和注意力用来寻找想找到的人或物,是“看”向目标的延伸。💡 最常见句型是“look for + 寻找的对象”。不要只说 look 某物来表示“寻找”;look after 表示照料,不能和 look for 混淆。intransitive oftenI’m looking for my keys.我正在找我的钥匙。
-
common 面向;俯瞰📖 某个建筑、房间或地点的视野朝向某处,能看到那里的景色。💡 常见句型是“房间或建筑 + look out over/toward + 地方”。这里的主语通常是地点或建筑,不是人在主动观看;不要和表示“看某物”的 look at 混用。Our balcony looks over the river.我们的阳台俯瞰着那条河。
-
rare 期待;指望📖 把注意力朝向未来,期待某事发生或指望某人提供帮助。💡 常见结构是“look to + 人或事物 + for/to do”。这种用法比 look forward to 更正式或更少见;表达日常“期待”时通常优先学习 look forward to。
-
rare 用眼神表达📖 通过眼神或面部表情流露出爱、恨等感情,是“看”进一步变成“用目光传达”的用法。transitive
-
rare 照管;确保📖 把注意力放到某件事上并负责处理或确保它不会出问题。💡 常见结构是“look to + 事物/人”或“look to it that + 句子”。这是较正式、较少见的用法,日常表达“确保”通常用 make sure。often transitive
-
rare 探身出现📖 指人从某处探出身子,让自己出现在视线中,属于较旧的比喻性用法。dated figuratively sometimes
-
rare 检查;确认📖 把目光投向某事以检查它是否妥当,是“看”引申出的旧式确认义。archaic dialectal transitive
-
rare 转眼看向📖 表示把眼睛转向某人或某物,是现代英语中已不常用的旧义。obsolete transitive
-
rare 寻求;寻找📖 表示寻找目标,和现代常用的 look for 同源,但属于过时的直接及物用法。obsolete transitive
-
rare 以目光压制📖 借助目光或在场的气势影响、震慑甚至压服别人,是“目光产生作用”的旧式用法。obsolete transitive
-
common 不挥棒看球📖 在棒球中,击球手判断来球但没有挥棒,结果被判为看着球进入好球区。💡 常见于棒球报道或比赛讨论,主语通常是击球手。它是运动术语,不是一般的“注视”;初学者可先识记,之后再掌握具体比赛语境。The batter was caught looking at the final strike.击球手看着最后一个好球进来,却没有挥棒。
