高三英語(yǔ)課本知識(shí)點(diǎn) look up the dictionary 漢語(yǔ)中的“查字典”，說(shuō)成英語(yǔ)通常是 look up sth in a dictionary 或 consult [refer to] adictionary。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(shū)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(xiě)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。有不少人認(rèn)為英語(yǔ)習(xí)慣上不能直接說(shuō) look up the dictionary, 其實(shí)這種表達(dá)在英語(yǔ)中也可以用，只是比較少見(jiàn)而已。例如： I spend more time looking up the dictionary than reading the book. 我讀這本書(shū)時(shí)查字典的時(shí)間還多些?！?L.
