451 look up和consult
① look up后接要查的具体项目,如word,address,time,telephone number等。
You can look up the poem in this book. 你可以在这本书中查找那首诗。
② consult指查阅参考资料/书,如map,dictionary,encyclopedia(百科全书)等。比较:
look up a word in a dictionary在词典上查一个词
consult a dictionary查词典
比较
“查字/词典”不可说look up the dictionary,因为dictionary是查寻的地方,不是查寻的对象,要说成look up the word/a word in the dictionary。
