A：“看，这部电影你看过吗？”
B：“我看不错”
C：“看看这个周末你有没有空。”
D：“看情况吧，不加班的话一起去看看。”
你能说出上面这个句子出现过多少个“看”，各自又是什么意思吗？
在中文里，我们习惯将这些动作归在一个“看”上。而在英语中，则大致分为了3个单词：
see, look, watch
它们笼统的意思都是“看”，而且有时可以互换。但从核心意思上来说，各自却有很大的不同。比如see强调感官上的视觉，look和watch强调查看的动作，同时它们两个词查看的对象又不同。这一切，该如何理解呢？ 1. See (saw, seen)
See is a verb of perception, it is a sense. It is automatic and doesn't require a decision to use this sense. It is associated with things that we can't avoid.
Examples:
1. Let’s go to see the movie “Batman”.
2. Have seen Robert today?
3. I can see the mountains in the distance.
4. Can you see the whiteboard from your seat?
Other meanings:
see-saw 跷跷板
I see 我明白了
let me see 让我想想 / 让我看
2. Look (looked, looked)
Look and Watch are action verbs that require a decision for you to use them. They never happen automatically.
Look is used to suggest a direction for your eyes. Usually we use this verb when the things we look at doesn't move.
Look - camera, prices, mirror, sky.
Examples:
1. Look at the map to find where we are.
2. Don't look at him for the answer - I asked you!
3. Look at this picture.
4. I like to look at the stars at night.
Other meanings:
look for 搜寻
have a look 看一眼
look out 小心
3. Watch (watched, watched)
Watch is when we talk about concentrating on something, like a movie or sports. Using watch suggests there is a movement involved, so you can use that for TV or movies.
Watch - a movie, a TV program, a football match.
Examples:
1. I love to watch Grey's Anatomy on Monday night.
2. My husband watches the replays of the football on the weekend.
3. I like to sit on the verandah and watch people walk by.
4. I watch Friends everyday on TV.
Other meanings:
watch your back 小心被人暗算
watch your step 小心脚下
watch carefully 注意观察
如果你不是很能理解的话，小编来替你总结一下：
see 是非主动查看，睁着眼睛就会自动看见东西；
look 是主动查看的动作，主要是看静态物体；
watch 是主动查看的动作，主要是看动态物体。
