詞語辨析
look happy
這裡look是表感官的系動詞（相當於系動詞be),這類詞叫做半系動詞。半系動詞後可用名詞、不定式、分詞和形容詞等作表語，這類詞有： 1.表感觀的系動詞：look, sound, taste, smell, feel（這些詞用形容詞作表語）2.表似乎的系動詞seem, appear3.表變化的系動詞：become, get, turn, grow, make, come, go, fall, run 4.表依舊的系動詞：remain, keep, stay, continue, stand, rest, lie, hold 5.可帶名詞作表語的系動詞：become, make, look, sound, fall, prove, remain, turn（該詞後接的單數名詞前多不用冠詞。如：He turned teacher.）
I look forward to,I am looking forward to
短語look forward to在句中可用於一般現在時,也可用於一般進行時,前者口氣較隨便,多用在私人信件中;後者口氣較正式,常用在公文中。
look for, look forward to, anticipate, expect
這組詞(組)的共同意思是“期待,等待”。其區別是:expect指“等待某事發生”,常有一定的根據,發生的可能性較大；anticipate含有“預先體味”的意味；look for是日常用詞,也可表示“期待”；look forward to指以歡樂或焦急的心情期待某事發生。例如:
I expect to see some fine films during the holidays.我期望假期能看上幾部好電影。
We anticipate that we shall hear from you again.我們預感到將會再接到你的信。
I think we may look for a better result next time.我想下次結果可能會好一些。
I'm looking forward to your visit.我期待著你的來訪。
look, appear, seem
這三個詞都可用作系動詞,表示“看起來”。其區別是：
1.在含義上, appear 強調外表上給人的某種印象,有時含實質上並非如此的意思; look意味著看上去如此,實際亦是如此; seem 則暗示判斷有一定根據,這種判斷往往接近事實。例如:
He appears to be very young.
他看上去很年輕。(實際上不一定如此)
He looks to be very young.
他看上去很年輕。(實際上也年輕)
He seems to be very young.
他看上去很年輕。(可能他的確很年輕)
2.在用法上,這三個詞都可跟形容詞或“to be+形容詞或名詞”結構,也可用於It appears〔appeared〕/looks〔looked〕/seems〔seemed〕 as if...結構。但是, appear 和seem跟to-v時仍表示“看起來”,而look 接to-v則是“盼望”的意思。例如:
He appears〔seems〕 to know it.
他看來知道這件事。
He looks to hear from you.
他期待你來信。
另外, appear 和seem可用於It appears〔appeared〕/seems〔seemed〕 that...結構,而look不能。例如:
我看他似乎很喜歡看這部小說。
[誤] It looks to me that he enjoys reading the novel.
[正] It appears〔seems〕 to me that he enjoys reading the novel.
還有, appear 和seem一般不用於進行體; 而look可用現在進行時,這和一般現在時所表示的意思無多大區別。例如:
You are looking〔look〕 very unhappy.你看起來很不高興。
look, glance
這兩個詞的共同意思是“看”,都可接介詞at。其區別是:glance指匆忙地看一眼,也指粗略地、隨便看看、暗暗地看; 而look則表示有意識地注意看,將視線集中於某人或某物上,著重於看的動作。例如:
She felt very nervous with so many people looking at her.這么多人瞧著她,她感到非常緊張。
I found the child opposite looking at my red hat.我發現對面的孩子在看我的紅帽子。
look, see, watch
這三個詞都有“看”的意思。其區別是:look指有意識的“動作”;see指有意或無意的“結果”;watch則指有意識地以期待、警覺等心情看上一段時間。例如:
We looked but saw nothing.我們看了,可是什麼也沒看到。
They are watching a TV play.他們在看電視劇。
look for, discover, find, find out, invent
參見discover條。
