词组讲解

1. look 〔see〕 after sb. or sth. *** 照看，照顾

解短语动词；词义溯源：［在…之后（after）］看某人或某物

例 Companies in some countries nowadays realize that a woman who has to worry about her children while she's at work is not capable of giving her best to her job.

解习语；词义溯源：看起来［黄油放进嘴里不会融化（butter wouldn't melt in one's mouth）］

例 She was a woman who looked as if butter wouldn't melt in her mouth and so never met and married a man. But her novels reveal a very different woman was inside, hidden behind her plain features.

3. look at sb. cross-eyed / look cross-eyed at sb. ** 威胁某人；嘲笑某人

例 More than sixty years have passed since a single atomic bomb dropped from an American bomber destroyed the entire city of Hiroshima. The Japanese still look back on the event as the ultimate proof that they were the victims of World WarⅡ, while the rest of the world sees it quite differently.

5. look daggers at sb. ** 对某人怒目而视，瞪眼

解习语；词义溯源：用［匕首（daggers）］般的眼神［向着（at）］某人看；dagger表示“短剑，匕首”

例 It was just an instance in length, but I caught it: his wife looked daggers at Michael when he started to tell us why they don't have a baby yet. He quickly changed the subject after she gave him that dirty look . I think maybe she has a physical problem.
