Peep、peer、glimpse 分別表示哪種 “看”？
內(nèi)容簡介
動(dòng)詞 “peep、peer” 和 “glimpse” 都可以用來表示 “看” 的動(dòng)作，但它們描述的 “看” 的方式卻不同。如果想表示 “看一眼，看到事物的一部分”，應(yīng)該用哪個(gè)動(dòng)詞？形容人 “偷看、偷瞄” 時(shí)應(yīng)該用哪個(gè)動(dòng)詞？哪個(gè)詞指 “細(xì)細(xì)端詳” 或 “費(fèi)力地看”？看視頻中主持人 Saskia 的講解，學(xué)習(xí)區(qū)分這三個(gè)近義詞。
文字稿
Hi, everyone. Welcome back to English In A Minute.
Peep, peer and glimpse are all verbs of sight that mean 'look at something', but are used in different situations.
Let's look at some examples: My friend peeped at my test answers.
This verb means 'to look at something quickly and secretively'.
I peered at the document trying to understand it.
Peer means 'to look at something intently or carefully in detail'.
It can also be used in another way.
I was peering at the clock in the distance.
This example means that I had difficulty reading the clock. Maybe the clock was very small or I have bad eyesight.
I glimpsed the sunlight through the trees.
Glimpse means 'to see something for a short time', or 'to only see part of something'.
We often use glimpse as a noun with the verb 'catch'.
For example, I caught a glimpse of Phil as he left the office.
Bye, everyone.
