“看書”不能用look at嗎

請看下面兩個句子：

1. I’ve __________ your book with pleasure.

2. Students must not __________ their books while having an exam.

A. read，read                              B. looked at，looked at   

C. read，looked at                        D. looked at，read

此題應選C。容易誤選A，這要從英語對“讀書”和“看書”的表達習慣說起：

漢語的“看書”和“讀書”，其實有兩層含義：

1. 指閱讀性地“看書”或“讀書”，此時一般是用動詞read：

He has read through all these books. 他已通讀了所有這些書。

When I entered，he was reading a book. 我進來時他正在看書。

I’ve read your book with pleasure. 我已高興地拜讀了你的大作。

2. 不指閱讀性地“看書”，而只是大概地看一看，比如看看書的封面、定價、內容提要等，或者回答問題時看看書的某些章節或字句等，或者是考試時偷看書本等，此時通常用look at，see等：

Can I look at those books? 我可以看看那些書嗎?

He demanded to see my books. 他要求看看我的書。

Please answer my questions without looking at your books. 請不看書回答我的問題。

Students must not look at their books during examinations. 學生考試不準看書。
