382. Let's look at this definition in more detail because it is language, more than anything else, that distinguishes man from the rest of the animal world.
译文
让我们更加仔细地看看这个定义,因为正是语言,而不是其他什么,使人类区别于世界上的其他动物。点睛
look at本意为“看”,强调动作,此处意为“考虑,研究”。如:I haven't had time to look at your paper yet. 我还没得空仔细读你的论文。
in detail意为“详细地”。如:
Please explain your plan in detail. 请详细解释一下你的计划。
distinguish...from...意为“区别,辨别”。如:
The twins are so alike that no one can distinguish one from the other. 这对双胞胎长得非常像,没人能分辨出谁是谁。
考点归纳
look at虽然是极为常见的短语,但其含义却远不止大家所熟悉的“看”,它还可指:“仔细查看”。如:
The doctor ought to look at your ankle. 医生得仔细检查一下你的脚踝。
“考虑;研究”。如:
The committee wouldn't even look at my proposal. 委员会对我的提议甚至不予考虑。
“观察;看待”。如:
The British look at life differently from the Americans. 英国人对生活的看法和美国人不同。
