see,look 和 watch 都跟视力有关,都是通过人的眼睛实现的。因为都跟人的眼睛息息相关,所以它们是常用的跟“看”有关的单词,但是它们还是有本质的区别。
一、see 指通过眼睛注意到或察觉到,是一种视觉感知。当我们睁开眼睛时,我们就开始无意中看到东西,而且毫不费力,例如:Can you see my house over the cliff?Bats can see very well in the dark.You may not see much in dim light.Didn't you see Ram? He was waving at you.
二、look 利用看的能力,指当我们试图看东西时,我们会做出特别的努力,把注意力集中在某物上。当表示看一个物体时,look 后面常跟介词 at,例如:He looked at his watch and told me the time.Don’t look at me like that, I didn't do anything wrong.She looked at me and smiled.
三、watch 跟 look 类似,也利用看的能力,但需要我们付出更多的努力,通常是连续的“look"或观察。我们观察的东西会以某种方式移动或改变,例如:I like watching motor racing on TV.Watch the white horse as it enters the water.All day long I just watched TV yesterday.I like watching the spectacular sun set every day.If you watch that egg for long enough you'll see it hatch.如果你观察那个蛋足够长的时间,你会看到它孵出来的。
四、watch a movie 和 see a moive 的区别watch a movie 通常指的是在家里的电视或电脑上看电影,而没有去电影院,而 see a moive 通常指的是去电影院(go to the theather)看电影。They sometimes meet up to chill out and watch a movie.I decided to stay in and watch a movie.Do you fancy going to see a movie sometime?I'm not in the mood to go see a movie.We saw the All Blacks beat Wales in Cardiff last year.Did you ever see Michael Jackson live on stage?Have you seen that Gaddafi video on YouTube?Last night we stayed home and watched some films on TV.When I'm bored I play a few DVDs and watch them on my computer.当我无聊的时候,我会放几张DVD,然后在电脑上看。
词或词组辨析:
1 in the mood 有心情,兴致勃勃,常用的搭配是:in the mood for sth/in the mood to do sth,又如:
Dad's just not in the mood to go out to dinner tonight.Are you in the mood for pizza?
