一、区分英语中的“看”和汉语中的“看”

1．请看黑板。Please look at the blackboard．

2．看那里,我想什么东西烧着了。Look over There．I Think something is burning．

3．他不能看见人群,因为他是瞎子。He cannot see the crowd for he is blind．

4．我看见这个盒子是空的。I saw that the box was empty．

注:look,表示“看”或“瞧”,强调将视线集中在某物上,不表明是否看清楚或看见什么;see,表示“看见”或“看到”,是指视力范围内能看见的人或物,强调看见了。

5．她一直注视着火车,直到看不见为止。She watched the train till it disappeared from sight．

6．你是参加玩呢,还是仅仅旁观？Are you going to play or only watch？

7．我妈妈每晚都看电视。My mother watches TV every evening．

8．上周我就看过这部电影了。I saw the film last week．

注:watch,表示“观看”或“注视”,多表示极有兴趣地用眼睛注视着活动的人和物。英语中看电影、戏剧习惯用see;而看电视,球赛用watch。

9．他亲眼看见这次车祸。He witnessed the accident himself．

10．他亲眼目睹了那场战斗。He witnessed the battle．

注:witness，表示“目睹”或“目击”,表示聚精会神地注视他人或某事件的全过程。

11．他在看书,别去打优他。He was reading a book．Don’t bother him．

12．启动微机前请看说明书。Read the instructions before you start the computer．

注:read,“看书,看报”等的看,表示不仅看,而且要理解所看的内容。

二、比较英语中几个易混淆的“受伤”

1．That soldier was wounded in the battle．那个战士在战斗中受伤了。

2．Six people injured when the big tree fell．大树倒了,伤了六个人。

3．She slipped and hurt her knee．她滑倒了,摔伤了膝盖。注:从以上三个例句我们可以看出“hurt”受伤的程度不如“wound”和“injure”;而“injure”着重于“意外”地受伤。

4．He felt wounded in his honour．他感到他的荣誉受到了伤害。

5．His reputation will be badly injured by these vicious rumours．这些恶毒的谣言会严重损害他的名誉。

6．A lot of companies will be hurt by these new tax laws．很多公司会受到这些新税法的损害。

注:通过4、5、6例句,表明“wound／injure／hurt”除了能表示身体上的“受伤”而且还能指“精神上”的“受伤”。

7．The cat scratched my younger sister．猫抓伤了我的小妹妹。

8．I scratched the side of the car as I was driving through the gate．我开车进大门时,把汽车外皮擦伤了。

9．There is a lot of blood on his finger．He cut it on a piece of metal．他的手指被块金属片割伤了,流了好多血。
