?1. 用作名詞,表示“書”,漢語的“看書”有兩層含義。如:(1) 表示閱讀性地“看書” (即讀書),一般要用動詞 read。如:He is reading a book in his room. 他在房里看書。I’ve read yourbook with pleasure. 我已高興地拜讀了你的大作。(2) 不是表示閱讀性地“看書”,而只是大概地看一看,比如看看書的封面、定價、內(nèi)容提要等,或者回答問題時看看書的某些章節(jié)或字句等,或者是考試時偷看書本等,此時都不宜用動詞 read, 而用 lookat, see等動詞。如:Can I look at those books? 我可以看看那些書嗎Can I look at those books? ? Jim demanded to see my books. 吉姆要求看看我的書。Please answer my questions without looking at your books. 請不看書回答我的問題。

?2. 用作動詞,意為“預(yù)定”,可以用作及物或不及物動詞。如:Seats (for the theatre) can be booked from 9 am to 6 pm. (劇院的)定座時間是上午9點至下午6點。Please book a ticket for Londonplease. 請訂一張去倫敦的票。
