下面是我们为大家精心挑选最常用的英语短语,每条短语都有精辟的说明告诉大家如何运用,而且还配有例句喔!真的很不错的!

16.to find out: (to get information, discover, learn)

【说明】

to find out(得悉,发现,查明)与find略有不同,find out指故意去寻而寻出:

【例】

(1) I was unable to find out the name of the man who called.

我想不出那个打电话来的人的名字。

(2) Will you please try to find out for me what time that train arrives?

能否请你替我查明火车什么时候到达?

17.to look at : (do direct the eyes toward, watch)

【说明】

to look at (眼睛望着,注视)亦可解释为考虑,调查(consider, investigate),如:The judge said that he would look at the matter of the widow’s right to the property. (法官说他将考虑寡妇对这财产的权利。)look一般都用作不及物动作,与许多不同的介系词结合而形成各种意义不同的片误。Look at see 并不相同,see的意思是看到,往往是无意的,上面两句里的look at 都不可改用see.

【例】

(1) The teacher told us to look at the blackboard and not at our books.

教师教我们注视黑板,不要看着我们的课本。

(2) I like to walk in the park and look at the stars at night.

18.to look for : (to search for, seek)

【说明】

to look for (寻觅,搜寻)也有期望,盼望的意思,如I don’t look for much profit from the business. (我并不期望从生意中得到优厚的利益。)

【例】

他已经花了一个钟头去寻找他失去的钢笔了。
