look,see,watch,read,meet

look，see，watch，read，這四個詞都有「看」的意思，但是「看」法不同：

---

look指集中注意力地看，是有意的，強調「看」的動作。單獨使用時，用來引起對方的注意；如果跟賓語，要和at連用。

例如：

1. Look! Tom is over there.看！湯姆在那兒。
2. Look at the blackboard, please.請看黑板。
3. Look at the girl, she is beautiful. =Look! The girl is beautiful.
4. Jean, look ! This dress is so pretty. = Jean, look at the dress, it is so pretty.
5. Let me just take a look at......
6. What are you looking at? 你正在看什麼? (What are you looking for?你在找什麼)
7. I am looking at the album.
   我正在看相本。
8. I am looking at my girlfriend's photo.
9. Look here!
   看這裡
10. Take a look here.
    看這裡
11. have a look 一般用於建議別人『看看吧』，比如 Let's go and have a look.
    take a look 一般是表達自己的想法...比如買東西時人家問你 Can I help you? 你就要回答 Just take a look.（隨便看看。）
    也有人說have a look=take a look
    

see強調「看」的結果，意為「看見、看到」，你看到對方，但對方不一定看到你。

例如：

1. How many birds can you see in the tree?你能看到樹上有多少隻鳥兒？
2. let me see可說是讓我看看或者是讓我想想
   
   What color was it?
   Let me see, it was purple I think.(這裡指的是讓我想想)
   I will think about it.也是「想」，但含有「考慮」的意思。
   
3. Did you see her notebook?
   你看到他的筆電嗎?(常用過去式，因為看的動作已經發生了)
4. It is scary when I see a ghost.
5. I saw her one afternoon in June.
6. see 也可以當作「明白瞭解」
   Just follow me and you will see.
   I see = I got it = I get it
   
   

meet 是遇見會面，雙方互相看到。或用在雙方不期而遇。

1. nice to meet you 初次見面使用
2. He got an apple and a yogurt. And then he met with Dr. Shepherd.
   他吃了個蘋果和優格，並且和Dr. Shepherd會面。
3. I met her one afternoon in June.
4. Where do you meet your friend?
5. We met my father's friend. He is rich.
6. I met a bear in the forest, it was really scare me.
7. Why don't we meet somewhere?
8. run into 可以解釋為「撞見」，語氣比meet強烈。
   

watch強調「專注地看」，有欣賞的意味，常用於看電視、看球賽等。

例如：

1. Do you watch TV at night?
   你晚上看電視嗎？
2. I want my mom to watch me ride a horse.
3. watch your head!小心你的頭

search,look for,find,seek(找)用法

SEARCH
Search是仔細、徹底尋找/搜尋的意思。
比較少人會說 Can you help me search for my glasses?
如果這樣說也沒有不正確，只是比較嚴肅的感覺，意味著你的眼鏡可能不容易找到，因為你希望人家仔細的幫你尋找。

較正確的用法如下：
Can you help me search for a job? (你可以幫我找工作嗎？)
The police searched for the missing boy. (警察在尋找失蹤的小男孩)
He searched her face for some sign of forgiveness. (他在她臉上尋找一絲原諒)

英文是母語的人比較會用Search在有條理有系統的尋找一樣東西上。上面三個例子，工作、失蹤小男孩、原諒，這三個都有仔細尋找的意思。

LOOK FOR
Can you help me look for my glasses?
這裡用 look for 非常恰當，就是很單純尋找眼鏡的意思。
LOOK FOR 和 FIND 是比較口語的字，用在尋找一般物品。

I am looking for my sister! 我在找我姊。
I am looking for a job. 我在找工作。（很口語化的說要找工作）

FIND
Can you help me find my glasses?
LOOK FOR 和 FIND是這四個字裡意思最相近的，有時可以互用，但不同於LOOK FOR，FIND 比較有「找到」的意思，所以也可翻成「你可以幫我找到我的眼鏡嗎」。
Can you help me find a job? (你可以幫我找<到>工作嗎？)
Can you help me look for a job? (你可以幫我找工作嗎？)

雖然 LOOK FOR 和 FIND 的意思非常相似，但在不同句子裡，有時兩字是不能互換著實用，舉例：
I will find time to see you today. 我今天會找時間看你。
這裡的 FIND 不能用 LOOK FOR 代替。

SEEK
四個字裡面，SEEK跟其他三個最不同。SEEK 是蠻正式(formal)的用法。
Seek 最常用在尋找意義比較深遠，比較抽象的東西，是會花時間尋找和達成的，而且通常會用在尋找無形，觸摸不到的東西。

seek the true meaning of life 尋找生命的真諦
seek my opinion 尋求我的意見
seek justice 尋找正義
seek fame and wealth追求名利

真諦、意見、正義、名利，這些都是無形，觸碰不到的東西。
所以如果說 Can you help me seek my glasses? 這個用法完全不對。

如果是用在尋找有形的東西，Seek 也可在警察調查案子找人的時候用。
The police are seeking a man in connection with the killing last Thursday.
警察在尋找跟上星期四一樁殺人案有關聯的男子。
這裡用的 seek 就是搜尋的意義。

以下的句子用 search, look for, find, seek 都正確，但意思有差別：
The police are searching for a man in connection with the killing last Thursday.
The police are seeking a man in connection with the killing last Thursday.
這兩個意思幾乎相同，仔細搜尋，但 seeking 比較正式，警察如果對民眾宣布他們要搜尋的人，就會用 seeking。

The police are looking for a man in connection with the killing last Thursday.
很口語化的說法，不是很正式，比較隨便的說法。

The police are trying to find a man in connection with the killing last Thursday.
也是很口語化的說法，警察試圖尋找，希望能找到。

medicine,medication

medicine n.

以上兩者均可以當藥解釋。就是你吃的藥，進嘴的藥。

例句：

吃藥的時間

Mr. McMurphy, your medication.
Mr. McMurphy, 你的藥。

I need medicine.
我需要吃藥。

get的用法

I will get it.
我去拿；我去接（電話）；我去應門。

---

我明白了；我懂了。
Just follow me, you will see.

I get it (I got it過去式)
我拿到了。

我做到了，我成功了。

hard,difficult的區別比較

difficult 多單指技術性的難度.需要智慧才能夠解決的，比如一個很難解決的問題之類的。


hard 多於用任務量的繁重，可能是體力上的，時間緊迫，壓力大之類的形容，比difficult常用很多。


ardous 則指非常艱巨的大型任務。


tough ，多用於口語中，多指人壓力很大，這段時間很艱苦之類的意思。




一般前面加一些形容的副詞.very， extremely，badly之類的來加強難度。




以上以hard是比較口語的用法。




difficult與hard用作形容詞時，均可表示「困難的」之意，一般情況下能互換，但兩者之間也有區別：


1. difficult習慣用來修飾需要運用智慧和技巧才能解決的問題，其程度要比hard深。




2. hard習慣用來指體力和精神方面所感受到的困難與艱苦，程度沒有difficult深，但語氣比difficult強，多用於口語.




3. hard用作形容詞時，還有「堅硬的」「嚴厲的」「冷酷無情的」之意，而difficult則沒有.


eg.


I like hard chairs. 我喜歡坐硬座椅。


Don't be too hard on her. 別對她太嚴厲了。




4. hard還能用作副詞，意為「努力地」，而difficult 則無此意。


eg.


Think hard and work hard. 認真思考，努力工作。






eg.


These apples are hard to reach.


這些蘋果難夠著。




It's hard to keep this secret.


很難保守這個秘密。




Baby-sitting is hard.


照顧小孩很難




I can't get it ,it is too hard.




玩拼圖覺得很困難時....


It is too hard for me, I can't finish it.

What about與How about

說法很多，列出如下：

What about...? 和How about...?在今日美語用法上，已沒什麼區別了。
中譯是「怎麼樣？ 作如何想法？」
只是要注意的是about是介系詞，所以後面必須接名詞，或動名詞。不能接子句。

有些文法書還會刻意的去區分這兩個用法的不同，但語言是活的，一直會修正，今日，一般而言，這兩個句型已可以互用。

---

在表達提出某種建議的意思「... 怎麼樣；... 好嗎?」時，"How about" 和 "What about" 是可以互換的，亦即意思是一樣的："How/What about a drink?" (喝杯酒怎麼樣?；喝杯酒好嗎?)。再舉一例："Where should we go on vacation?" "How about Hawaii ?" "What about Japan ?" (「我們該去那裡度假呢?」，「去夏威夷怎麼樣?」，「去日本好嗎?」)。

若是徵求意見或打聽消息，你只能使用 "What about"："What about the university?" (強調 about 這個字) -- 這是 "How about ...." 無法表達的意思。但 "How about" 可以用來表達對事物的驚訝："How about those dogs?" -- "What about " 則沒有這項意思。此外，如果你提供多項事物讓人選擇，那麼必須使用 "How about" 才能克竟全功："Here are three jackets you might buy. How about the grey one?"。

---

兩者在意思上沒有區別,字典上的定義也是如此:

I'm feeling hungry. How/What about you? How/What about a salad for lunch?

但是在表示建議做某事時,以下三種情況要用how about:
how about + V-ing?
How about taking a walk in the park?

how about + S + V

How about we take a walk in the park?

how about + if S + V

How about if we take a walk in the park?

---

以下是我曾看過運用的實例：

在電影中飛越杜鵑窩中，某個會議的場合徵求比利的意見用how about
How about you?Billy.
你覺得如何?比利

How about going to the movies?
What about going to the movies?
提出建議時，how about 及what about 均可。

ABC三個人在路上談話。
A:Do you have something to eat?
B:I have oranges.
C:I have apples.
B和C問A
What about you?
你有什麼?


What about your homework?
您的作業呢?(父親質疑小孩作業未做)

What about the second day.
How about the third day.
第二天情況如何？
第三天情況如何？
(某次旅行，主角說完第一天的行程，問話的人接著問第二天及第三天的情況)
