關(guān)閉窗口 英語習(xí)慣上不說 look up the dictionary 嗎？
■湖南 陳根花
漢語中的“查字典”，說成英語通常是 look up sth in a dictionary 或 consult [refer to] a dictionary。如：
I refer to the dictionary frequently. 我經(jīng)常查閱詞典。
You can look the word up in the dictionary. 你可以在詞典里查這個(gè)詞。
He often consulted a dictionary when he read the book. 他讀這本書時(shí)經(jīng)常查字典。
I looked the word up in the dictionary to refresh my memory of its exact meaning. 我查了詞典，以便弄清這個(gè)詞的準(zhǔn)確意思。
I often look up the words I don’t know in the dictionary or on the Internet. 我經(jīng)常在字典里或網(wǎng)上查找我不認(rèn)識(shí)的單詞。
“Is that the correct spelling?” “I don’t know—look it up in a dictionary.” “那是正確的拼寫嗎？”“我不知道——查查詞典吧。”
I didn’t know what “l(fā)oquacious” meant and had to look it up in a dictionary. 我不知道loquacious這個(gè)是什么意思，所以只好查了詞典。
I spend more time looking up the dictionary than reading the book. 我讀這本書時(shí)查字典的時(shí)間還多些。——摘自 L. G. Alexander 編《新概念英語》（外研社）
Look up the dictionary and explain the meaning of the italicized words. 查字典然后解釋斜體詞的意思。——摘自張漢熙編《高級(jí)英語》（商務(wù)印書館）
