Q & A of the Week: See, Look and Watch 英語(yǔ)里表達(dá)‘看 ’的單詞Feifei: Hello welcome to Question and Answer of the Week. I'm Feifei.
Finn: 歡迎收聽你問我答, I'm Finn. We're here, as always, to help you with yourquestions about the English language.
Feifei: And this week, we have a question from a Chinese listener in New Zealand.
InsertHello my name is Hui. I have a question: when I talk with local people they use lots ofwords like watch, see and look, and I wonder the difference among these words. Thankyou..
Finn: A very good question there. Huiping 想知道 look, watch and see 這三個(gè)詞的不同. Now they're all common words, but actually this question is not soeasy to answer, is it Feifei?
Feifei: No it's not but let's try our best. 大家肯定對(duì)這個(gè)三個(gè)單詞都不陌生，而且大多數(shù)情況下當(dāng)這三個(gè)個(gè)表示看的單詞出現(xiàn)在一句話中的時(shí)候，我們也能正確的理解其意思，不過究竟什么時(shí)候該用哪個(gè)詞呢？
Finn: Yes, so today we'll be looking at the differences in meaning and usagebetween these three related words, with the help of a cat.
InsertMeowFeifei: A cat? 不過首先我們還是從最基礎(chǔ)的區(qū)別開始說吧。Ready Finn?
Finn: Ready. So first up: see, S.E.E. This is the simplest of the three words, andit simply is when you use your eyes, so by using your eyes, you are awareof something – you can see it.
Feifei: See 比較好理解，當(dāng)一個(gè)事物或人進(jìn)入了你的視野或視線中時(shí)，不管你是不是有意去看的，只要你看到了 aware of it 就是知道它的存在，這時(shí)就用 see.
InsertWhen I went into my kitchen, I could see my cat, Mr Fluffy.
Feifei: 上面的這個(gè)例子中這位男士一進(jìn)屋就看到了 sees 這只貓，而他沒有刻意的去看。
Page 2 of 3Finn: That's right. So let's look at word number two, which is look: L.O.O.K.
What's the difference between see and look? Well, the difference is thatwhen you look at something you do it deliberately – you pay attention toit.
Feifei: Look - 當(dāng)你有意的 deliberately 把視線轉(zhuǎn)向一個(gè)東西的時(shí)候。
InsertMr Fluffy couldn't see me, he was looking at his food bowl, which was empty. Then Icoughed, and he turned round and looked at me.
Feifei: 這個(gè)例子說 Mr Fluffy 在盯著看 looking 它的空飯碗 his food bowl – 這是一個(gè)有意做出的動(dòng)作，當(dāng)它聽到有人咳嗽的時(shí)候，Mr Fluffy 又轉(zhuǎn)過身去看著 look at 那個(gè)人，這也是一個(gè)有意做出的動(dòng)作。
Finn: Now, thirdly, the last word: watch, W.A.T.C.H is a bit different from look.
Now, you watch something when you look at it but for longer, andespecially when it's something that's changing or moving.
Feifei: Watch – looking at 和 watching 這兩個(gè)詞的區(qū)別通常在于看一個(gè)東西的時(shí)間長(zhǎng)短和強(qiáng)度大?。凰晕覀兂Ｓ?watch 來表達(dá)你長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的看一個(gè)東西，尤其是一個(gè)在不斷移動(dòng)和變化的東西。
InsertMr Fluffy was hungry. I knew because he just kept watching me – whatever I did hejust kept watching me. I walked to the other side of the kitchen to get some food, and hewas watching me. All the time just watching me.
Feifei: 饑腸轆轆的 Mr. Fluffy 這個(gè)一直盯著在看 watching 這位先生在屋子里走來走去幫它準(zhǔn)備食物的過程。注意因?yàn)檫@個(gè)先生是一直在走動(dòng)，也就是說一個(gè)在不斷移動(dòng)的東西，那這是我們就應(yīng)該用動(dòng)詞 watch; 假設(shè)他一直站著沒動(dòng)，那么Mr Fluffy 這只貓就是 looking at 看著他了。希望我們已經(jīng)解釋清楚了 watch, see 還有 look 的區(qū)別。So did Mr Fluffy get his food?
Finn: Hmm, I hope so. Now in Chinese, there's one more thing I think we shouldbe aware of – the influence of the verb 看. So in Chinese you get phraseslike 看書，看電視。
Feifei: Yes, 雖然在漢語(yǔ)中我們使用的動(dòng)詞都是看，不過在英語(yǔ)中我們會(huì)使用不同的動(dòng)詞來表示看這個(gè)動(dòng)作。
Finn: Indeed, so for example 看電視 we say 'watch TV', we don't say 'see TV' or'look TV'. 看書呢, that's slightly different. We actually use the verb 'read':
to read a book. So here we've introduced a fourth verb: see, look, watchand now read.
Feifei: 看書或是看報(bào)紙，我們都會(huì)用動(dòng)詞 read, 雖然很簡(jiǎn)單，但是大家一定要特別 Jy ay 留意。
InsertI gave Mr Fluffy his bowl of food and then sat down to read the paper. Then I watcheda little TV. As I was watching I heard a noise. Meow. I looked down. Mr Fluffy washungry again.
Feifei: 好了，我們就先練習(xí)到這兒，希望今天的節(jié)目?jī)?nèi)容回答了 Huiping 提出的問題，也非常感謝她提出了這個(gè)問題。
InsertHuiping: Thanks for answering my question, I love this programme very much.
Finn: And Huiping, we have a question for you – do you like cats?
Huiping: Oh, not really?
Finn: Not really? Ok thank you.
