5.to look at : (do direct the eyes toward, watch)
【说明：】to look at (眼睛望着，注视)亦可解释为考虑，调查（consider, investigate），如：The judge said that he would look at the matter of the widow’s
right to the property. （法官说他将考虑寡妇对这财产的权利。）look一般都用作不及物动作，与许多不同的介系词结合而形成各种意义不同的片误。Look at 与see 并不相同，see的意思是看到，往往是无意的，上面两句里的look at 都不可改用see。
【例：】(1) The teacher told us to look at the blackboard and not at our books.
教师教我们注视黑板，不要看着我们的课本。
(2) I like to walk in the park and look at the stars at night.
晚上我喜欢在公园里散步，仰望着天上的群星。
6.to look for : (to search for, seek)
【说明：】to look for （寻觅，搜寻）也有期望，盼望的意思，如I don’t look for much profit from the business. （我并不期望从生意中得到优厚的利益。）

他已经花了一个钟头去寻找他失去的钢笔了。
(2) I have lost my gloves. Will you help me look for them?

7.all right : (satisfactory, correct)
【说明：】all right （满意，可以，没关系）用作形容词，和美国人的意思相仿，为日常口头语。有很多的英美人用all right, 可是也有许多人认为不该用它。
【例：】(1) He said that it would be all right to wait in this office for him.

(2) Will it be all right with you if I give you that money tomorrow instead of today?
如果我把今天应该给你的那笔钱明天给你，可以吗？
8.right here, right there, right now, etc : (exactly here, exactly there, etc.)
【说明：】right here（就在这儿），right there（就在那儿），right now（现在立刻）为日常口头语，right是副词，它的意思是exactly precisely, just,immediately，把here, there, now等的范围缩小了。还有right away与right off都是立刻，马上的意思。
