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.
表示某人注意看他们眼睛所见的某物,可用look at或watch。一般来说,用look at表示看不动的东西,而watch表示注视活动或变化的事物。例如,I asked him to look at the picture above his bed(我让他看他床上方的照片),He watched Blake run down the stairs(他看着布莱克跑下楼梯)。look后不直接跟宾语,必须跟at或其他介词:I looked towards the plane.(我朝那架飞机看去)。表示眼睛获得视觉图像而知道某物的存在,则用see。这时,see往往与can连用:I can see the fax here on the desk(我能看见这边桌上的传真)。
