風(fēng)景看透 細(xì)水長流

英語每日學(xué)(3.11)

這篇文章要從一首歌開始,來自王菲的《紅豆》讶坯。

可是我 有時(shí)候
寧愿選擇留戀不放手
等到風(fēng)景都看透
也許你會(huì)陪我 看細(xì)水長流

正如歌中所唱喂击,如果你想讓他/她陪你看細(xì)水長流扰魂,你得先把風(fēng)景都看透。
如何把“風(fēng)景”都“看"透蹂随,你就要好好讀這篇文章了。


首先來說說 SEE

See is what your eyes do.
However, this word has loads of meanings: you can see a shrink, which means you're consulting a psychiatrist; or you can be seeing your high school sweetheart, which means you're dating him.(這里需要說明一下因惭,shrink有一個(gè)非正式的幽默用法岳锁,指的是精神科醫(yī)生psychiatrist
See usually means passively observing, while look, which is also something you do with your eyes, is more active and intentional. (see和look在這里有了第一個(gè)差別,see通常是被動(dòng)的蹦魔,而look則更加主動(dòng)
When someone says, "The president will see you now," the president is sitting there passively, waiting for you to be shown in. You can say "I see," to mean "I understand; I get it." Or you can look into your crystal ball and see into the future, in which case you'd be called a seer(seer的意思是預(yù)言家).

我們都知道激率,中文里的 “看書”不說see a book,要說read a book勿决。不過乒躺,如果你只是看一眼而已就可以用see了。

Could I see your book for a second? 我可以看你那本書一眼嗎低缩?

如果某件事是一個(gè)變化的或者動(dòng)態(tài)的過程嘉冒,比如“看電視”和“看比賽”,你不能說see TVsee a football game咆繁,而要說watch TVwatch a football game讳推。

這可能是因?yàn)殡娨曠R頭變換頻繁,比賽更是瞬息萬變玩般,而see則是看比較固定的東西银觅。watch可以表示對(duì)一個(gè)過程“觀看一段時(shí)間”,這個(gè)含義用于一天到晚輪番上節(jié)目的電視就比較合適坏为。但如果是特定的一個(gè)節(jié)目究驴,有頭有尾看了镊绪,就不用watch而用see。

因此纳胧,看電影用see镰吆,看電視則用watch,如果你看的是電視當(dāng)中的一個(gè)特定節(jié)目跑慕,或是球賽中一個(gè)特定環(huán)節(jié)万皿,由于過程變化減弱,也可以用see甚至只能用see核行。
請(qǐng)看下面的例句

Have you ever seen (watched) Chaplin's The Great Dictator? 你看過卓別林的《大獨(dú)裁者》嗎牢硅?
Did you see(watch) the seven o'clock news last night? 昨晚七點(diǎn)鐘的新聞電視你看了嗎?
I saw (watched) England's defeat. 我看見了英格蘭隊(duì)被打敗芝雪。

如果前后文或語境暗示了你看的是電視上特定的一小段减余,而不是籠統(tǒng)的指看電視,仍然用see而不是watch惩系,而且television或TV前有the位岔。

I've seen the television.這件事我在電視上看見了(指談話雙方都知道的某一特定電視節(jié)目或鏡頭)。

但是如果說明了是電視上的一部片子堡牡,仍然以watch更好抒抬。

watch a mystery movie on TV.在電視上看一部偵探片。

see 除了最普通的“看見”之外晤柄,還有一個(gè)釋義是“留心擦剑、留神、設(shè)法辦到”芥颈。
如果是這個(gè)釋義惠勒,通常是see that...或者see to it that...的結(jié)構(gòu),that后面的從句時(shí)態(tài)按情況用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)或一般過去時(shí)爬坑。

See to it that everything is ready by 5 p.m.
你要把一切在下午五點(diǎn)以前辦好纠屋。

I'll finish by Friday.
See to it that you do.
我星期五以前辦完。
那你就設(shè)法做到吧妇垢。

We took care of his wounds and saw to it that he got home.
我們給他照料了傷口巾遭,設(shè)法把他送了回家。

see to it that...來自see to something闯估,是“照料”灼舍、“負(fù)責(zé)”、“管”的意思涨薪,因此see to后面接上名詞也有“照料”的意思骑素。

如果你覺得別人礙手礙腳,可以說:

Don't you worry about that. I'll see to that. 您就別操這個(gè)心了刚夺。我來管献丑。

如果你想吐槽自己太忙末捣,可以說

I'm too busy to see to everything myself. 我樣樣事情都要管,忙不過來创橄。

當(dāng)遇到see that...的形式時(shí)箩做,很容易誤解see是無意識(shí)的“看見”(其實(shí)是有意識(shí)的“設(shè)法做到”),看這樣兩個(gè)例句:

He would have to see that something was done about this situation. 他只好想辦法來收拾當(dāng)前的局面妥畏。

See that the curtains are closed. 注意把窗簾都拉上(不是“看看窗簾都拉上了”)邦邦。

如果的女朋友正在猶豫要不要向你提一個(gè)要求,你可以告訴她:

Just tell us what you want and we will see that your wishes are carried out. 你想要什么只管說醉蚁,我們一定設(shè)法讓你的愿望能實(shí)現(xiàn)燃辖。

see about sth. 這個(gè)短語的意思是“安排,著手處理”

I'd better see about dinner.我還是去準(zhǔn)備晚飯吧网棍。

see的主語可以某一時(shí)間點(diǎn)或時(shí)段黔龟,或是某一地點(diǎn),表示該時(shí)或該地發(fā)生什么事滥玷。 這個(gè)小詞在寫作中用好了也會(huì)出彩,是一種擬人化的修辭手法

Yesterday saw the resignation of the acting Interior Minister. 代內(nèi)政部長昨天辭職了氏身。

A US military spokesman said the past week had seen the highest number of car bombs and roadside bombs in Baghdad this year. 一位美國軍方發(fā)言人說,上周巴格達(dá)發(fā)生的汽車炸彈和路邊炸彈事件惑畴,數(shù)目是今年以來最高的观谦。

see表示“看見”,本來是人的一種不自主的感覺活動(dòng)桨菜,因此通常不能用進(jìn)行時(shí)。但如果是自主的行動(dòng)就可以有進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài):
比如

  • 因公事“會(huì)見”
    The director is seeing the applicants this morning. 局長今天上午在同求職人面談捉偏。
  • “觀光倒得,參觀”
    They are seeing the sights. 他們?cè)趨⒂^景物。
  • see about(“安排夭禽,設(shè)法弄到”)霞掺。
    They are seeing about a work permit for you. 他們正在設(shè)法給你弄一張工作許可證。
  • see to(“處理讹躯,修理”)菩彬。
    The plumber is seeing to the leak in our tank. 管道工正在處理我們水箱的漏水問題。
  • see somebody + 目的地或方向(“陪送到某處”)潮梯。
    see somebody out送某人出門口
    see somebody home送某人回家
    see somebody off 給某人送行
    He's seeing me to my bus. 他現(xiàn)在正在送我上公共汽車骗灶。

學(xué)會(huì)了see,還是不夠的

再來說說look

The Old English word locian is the root of look, meaning "see, gaze, or spy."
When you look at something, you see it. Look can also describe how something appears, like when your dog looks sad, or something likely to happen, like a gray day that looks like rain.
As a noun, look describes someone's style of dress, like your brother, whose rock star look gets lots of compliments.(關(guān)于look的名詞用法我們這里不再贅述)

當(dāng)你自己向外look(眼睛向外看或者內(nèi)心有某種見解)時(shí),后面要加上介詞成分:

  • 如果加上介詞成分后表示自己有意作出的行動(dòng)秉馏,時(shí)態(tài)可以有現(xiàn)在或過去進(jìn)行時(shí)耙旦,表示延續(xù)性。

He was looking at them angrily. 他怒氣沖沖地盯著他們萝究。
類似的look for找免都;look in on順便串門訪問锉罐;look into細(xì)察;look out for留神注意绕娘;look on(有意的動(dòng)作)觀看脓规,都可以有現(xiàn)在或過去進(jìn)行時(shí)。

  • 如果加上介詞成分后不是自己有意作出的行動(dòng)险领,而只是內(nèi)心的一種見解侨舆,時(shí)態(tài)就不用進(jìn)行時(shí)。

look on(非有意動(dòng)作)認(rèn)為 舷暮;look up to敬仰 态罪;look down on瞧不起。

  • 給別人look自己的樣子(相當(dāng)于系動(dòng)詞下面,接近于seem)后面接上形容詞或名詞性質(zhì)的表語复颈,但不接介詞成分。由于是狀態(tài)而不是行動(dòng)沥割,時(shí)態(tài)不用進(jìn)行時(shí))耗啦。

Your father looks angry.
你父親樣子很生氣。

You don't look your age.
你不像這個(gè)年齡机杜。

He particularly wanted to look good to his boss in these final months.
他特別想要在這最后幾個(gè)月給上司一個(gè)好印象帜讲。

I'm shortsighted, so I need them (= the glasses). But I know I look better(不是“看得更清楚”)without glasses. That's why I take them off a lot.
我近視眼,所以我要用眼鏡椒拗。不過我知道我不戴眼鏡樣子好看些似将。所以我常常把眼鏡摘下。

  • look的主語如果是it蚀苛,則表示“顯出…的樣子”在验,后面可以跟著as if或like(但是不能跟著that從句)。

It looks as if it's going to rain again. 看樣子又要下雨了堵未。

look和seem及appear意義差不多腋舌,但是在搭配上,seem和appear后面都可以接上to inf. 或是that從句渗蟹,look卻不可以块饺,只能有l(wèi)ook + 表語,以及上述It looks as if或It looks like的結(jié)構(gòu)。


聊完see和look雌芽,再來聊聊風(fēng)景

Spectacle授艰、view、 sight膘怕、vision想诅、scene、scenery

spectacle
A spectacle is something you can't believe you are seeing.
The word spectacle comes from the Latin spectaculum meaning "public show," an apt translation because a spectacle, like a public show, is something worth watching. A ballet is a spectacle, or an elaborate production worth watching. Often the word is used to describe something that has a particularly exciting visual element to it — like an acrobatic display or a magic trick. It's something you have to see to really appreciate.

這個(gè)詞的復(fù)數(shù) spectacles 的意思是“眼鏡”;
spectacle 作名詞的意思包括“風(fēng)景来破、場(chǎng)面”篮灼,而且多用來形容壯麗奇特(especially something of a remarkable or impressive nature),讓人大開眼界的景象或事件(an event or scene regarded in terms of its visual impact)徘禁。

Examples We were overwhelmed by the spectacle of the small village.
我們被那個(gè)小村莊里的壯美景色征服了诅诱。
Ten thousand people all dancing at the same time, what a spectacle!
一萬人同時(shí)跳舞,真是個(gè)壯觀的場(chǎng)面送朱!

view
A view is a scene or vista that's visible from a certain point(從某一點(diǎn)).
If you think your hotel room has a view of the ocean, it'll be disappointing to open the blinds and discover your view of a Dumpster(大垃圾桶) instead.
The range of what you can see is also called your view.
When you're keeping an eye on kids at the beach, you try to keep them in your view.
As a verb, view means to watch. It might be hard for you to sit still while you view a really scary movie, or even to keep from screaming out loud.

bird's-eye view這個(gè)表達(dá)的中文是“鳥瞰”的意思娘荡。
從這個(gè)表達(dá)我們也可以看出 view 這個(gè)詞的側(cè)重點(diǎn)是從某個(gè)較高的地點(diǎn)看到的美景(beautiful things that can be seen from a particular place or a high place)。

This room has the best view of the garden. 這個(gè)房間能看到花園最好的景致驶沼。

vision
If you are getting your eyes checked, a doctor is checking on your vision — or your ability to see.(這里的vision指的是視力和視覺)
But if you have visions of unicorns(獨(dú)角獸) romping over rainbows, that's a whole other issue that the eye doctor can't address.(這里的vision指的是一種“想象”和“幻覺”)
The noun vision describes how well you can see, but it can also refer to things you may see, but that aren't physically there.
Sometimes people claim to have religious visions of God, angels, the Virgin Mary, and so on. The word can also be used to describe something that is lovely: "The bride was a vision in white."

vision 這個(gè)詞最常見的意思是“視力炮沐、視覺”,也就是眼睛看清楚事物的能力回怜,如果有人說 I am losing my vision大年, 那意思就是“我的視力不行了”。
另外玉雾,這個(gè)詞也多指“想象翔试、幻覺”,并不是眼睛看到的复旬,而是腦海中想象出來的垦缅。
如果這個(gè)詞被用來形容某處的美景或者某個(gè)美人,那么這個(gè)景致或美人一定是“此景只應(yīng)天上有”般的罕見驹碍。

This waterfall is quite a vision, I cannot even think of a word to describe it! 這個(gè)瀑布真是絕妙美景壁涎,我都無法用語言形容了!

現(xiàn)在把viewvision做一個(gè)比較志秃。
view和vision兩者的詞義有時(shí)重合粹庞,但是view偏重客觀外界的“景象”坷随,vision則偏重人自己的視力和視野弧腥。
下面是幾個(gè)例子:

an apartment with an ocean view 有海景的公寓房
a view over the lake湖景
to stand up to get a better view 站起來要看得更清楚些
The windows of her flat looked out on to a superb view of London. 從她公寓房的窗戶往外看肖粮,倫敦的美景盡收眼底。
He had poor vision. 他的視力不好碑定。
The curtain of reality normally blocks our vision
現(xiàn)實(shí)的帷幕,通常擋住我們的視線又官。

當(dāng)然延刘,sight也可以代替vision表示“視力”。

Her sight vision was miraculously restored. 她的視力奇跡般地恢復(fù)了六敬。

現(xiàn)在我們來說說sight
sight
Your sight is your ability to see. If you're maneuvering through the house at midnight using your shins to locate the furniture, you'll appreciate your sight that much more. You could also turn a light on.
Sight has many different senses.
It can mean the range of your vision, as in when you freak out when your little puppy goes out of sight. You can "take in the sights," meaning you're seeing all the special attractions of a town (also known as sightseeing).
Sight can also be a verb, as when you sight a celebrity at your local taco stand, or when you sight your target using the sight on your gun, before you shoot.

sight 看到的不一定都是美景碘赖,而是指anything that is seen,如果想要用 sight 表示“風(fēng)景”之意,那么就要把它變成復(fù)數(shù)形式 sights普泡。

Reading e-books on smartphones is a common sight on the tube these days.
如今用智能手機(jī)看電子書在地鐵里隨處可見播掷。
My sister showed me around the sights of the city.
我姐姐帶我游覽了城里的一些景點(diǎn)。

Scene
A scene is where something happens or happened. How did you know that the thief would return to the scene of the crime?
Scene can also describe part of a movie or a play. Did the last scene make you laugh, cry, or fall asleep?
There are lots of common phrases that use the word scene.
If you “make a scene,” you draw attention to yourself with some kind of outburst.
If something happens “behind the scenes,” the public doesn't know about it.

scenery
Scenery is a word for how a place looks, especially a beautiful, outdoorsy place. Also, scenery is fake background in a play.
If you go to a place with mountains, and beautiful trees, and gorgeous skies, then it's got great scenery.
Scenery is the stuff you can look at outside. If a place is plain, ugly, or desolate, you might say, "Not much scenery."
Also, painters and set designers create scenery for plays. In theater, scenery could represent anything: buildings, trees, or the inside of a house. If a play has a lot of different settings, then it needs a lot of scenery

scene指某個(gè)事件發(fā)生的場(chǎng)景撼班,或者指“風(fēng)景”歧匈,而 scenery 則是這幾個(gè)詞中最直接表達(dá)“風(fēng)景”這個(gè)意思的,其核心意思就是“風(fēng)景砰嘁、景色”件炉。

The police are searching the crime scene.
警方正在搜查犯罪現(xiàn)場(chǎng)。
The island has the most spectacular scenery in this region.
這個(gè)小島擁有該地最美的景色矮湘。


好了斟冕,如果讀到這里,祝福你真的可以把“風(fēng)景”都“看”透缅阳,有人陪你看細(xì)水長流磕蛇。
