我們身邊的低頭族越來越多,上下班的路上,看手機;吃飯閑聊天時,看手機;網購搶菜買東西,看手機;以及現(xiàn)在正在看手機的你......
那么,問題來了,“看手機”的“看”,是see,是look還是watch?
其實都不對!
那到底應該怎么說?我們先來說說這些“看”。

See
“See”的意思是用眼睛注意到或意識到(某人或某物)。
See means to notice or become aware of (someone or something) by using your eyes.
例如:
The moment we saw the house, we knew we wanted to buy it.
我們一看到這房子就知道我們要買。
He crouched down so he couldn’t be seen.
他蹲下來好讓別人看不見他。
Can I see your ticket, please?
我能看看你的票嗎?
注意,see也可以表示理解( to see can also mean to understand)。
例如:
I see what you mean.
我明白你的意思。
Look
動詞“l(fā)ook”的意思是有意識地運用“see”的能力。換句話說,它的意思是付出努力或注意力去看某物。一般后邊跟at或者for。
The verb to look means to deliberately apply the ability to see. In other words, it means to make a conscious effort to see something. To look is usually followed by at or for.
例如:
If you look carefully you can see that the painting represents a human figure.
如果仔細看,就會看出畫上是一個人形。
‘It’s time we left,’ Ian said, looking at his watch.
