常见动词see所表达的意思有很多,今天主要讲其中的四个意思。它在使用中的注意事项及考试要点分述如下。
1.see用作及物动词时,可以指“看见,看到”。比如:I demand to see the manager.我坚决要求见经理。It's great to see you again.很高兴再次见到你
2.see的意思是“会见,接待,访问”。比如:We are going to see grandma in hospital tomorrow.我们明天要去医院探望奶奶。
3.see指“陪伴,送”。比如I’ll see you to the door.我送你到门口。Someone ought to see the children safely home.应该有人送孩子们安全回家。
4.see的意思是“发觉,理解”。比如:I see that I was wrong.我发现我错了。Did you see what I mean?你明白我的意思吗?I can’t see why she is so against the plan.我不明白为什么她这么反对这个计划。
5.see表示“目睹,经历”。比如:You and I have seen some good times together.你和我一起共同度过一些美好时光。
难点及考点:
1.当“看见”讲时,see后面再用动词时,要用省略to的动词不定式。比如:We saw him leave the room.我们看到他离开房间。
但是,如果see用在被动语态中,则动词不定式符号to要保留。比如:He was seen to leave the room.
2.当see表示“看,看见;看出,认出;经历;理解,认识到;明白;认为,看待”时,不用进行时。比如:
It is so dark and I can hardly see.天太黑了,我几乎看不到。I looked for her, but I could see her in the crowd.我找她,但在人群中没见到她。
This old house has seen better days.这座房子曾有过风光的日子,但现在破败不堪。It took me a while to see the truth of her remarks.过了一会我才理解她话中的真意。
I can not see the point of learning it.我就不明白学习它有什么意义。How do you see the current situation?你怎样看现在的局势?
3.分清see与look,watch区别。see表示看见某一件事的发生,强调结果;look表示集中精力,注意或试图看见什么东西,强调动作;watch强调全神贯注地看变化或发展的事物。比如:
I looked but saw nothing.我看了,但什么也没看见。They are watching how the machine work.他们在看机器怎样运转。
4.看电影,戏剧用see,比如:see a film;看电视则用watch,比如:watch TV。
