Seeing Is Believing
眼见为实
●我们的生活离不开眼睛,因此see和look与我们形影不离,这两个词虽然都表示看,却有很大差别。see表示看到,look表示看。前者表示动作的结果,后者传达了动作的过程。比如,我环视四周,一个人也没看到“I looked around but saw nobody.”。与此相关,see还可以表示“目击”、“参观,游览”、“会见,探望”。
●除了“看到”这个离不开眼睛的含义,更深一层用see还可以表达“领会,了解;感受”,即用头脑去观察,用心去体会。比如,我不明白“I can’t see”;你理解我的意思了吗?“Do you see what I mean?”
●遇到事情,我们经常会说“考虑考虑”,正好用see来表达“I’ll see”或“Let me see”。日常打招呼,与人分手时,说一声“See you later.”再见,回头见。如果是一段时间内不会见面,这样的分别就需要你为客人送行了“see off”。
