Usage Note :
If you want to say that someone is paying attention to something they can see, you say that they are looking at it or watching it. In general, you look at something that is not moving, while you watch something that is moving or changing. I asked him to look at the picture above his bed... He watched Blake run down the stairs. Look is never followed directly by an object. You must always use at or some other preposition. I looked towards the plane. You use see to talk about things that you are aware of because a visual impression reaches your eyes. You often use can in this case. I can see the fax here on the desk.
表示某人注意看他們眼睛所見的某物,可用look at或watch。一般來說,用look at表示看不動的東西,而watch表示注視活動或變化的事物。例如,I asked him to look at the picture above his bed(我讓他看他床上方的照片),He watched Blake run down the stairs(他看着布萊克跑下樓梯)。look後不直接跟賓語,必須跟at或其他介詞:I looked towards the plane.(我朝那架飛機看去)。表示眼睛獲得視覺圖像而知道某物的存在,則用see。這時,see往往與can連用:I can see the fax here on the desk(我能看見這邊桌上的傳真)。
