英语习惯上不说 look up the dictionary
汉语中的“查字典”,说成英语通常是 look up sth in a dictionary 或 consult [refer to] a dictionary.如:
I refer to the dictionary frequently.我经常查阅词典.
You can look the word up in the dictionary.你可以在词典里查这个词.
He often consulted a dictionary when he read the book.他读这本书时经常查字典.
I looked the word up in the dictionary to refresh my memory of its exact meaning.我查了词典,以便弄清这个词的准确意思.
I often look up the words I don’t know in the dictionary or on the Internet.我经常在字典里或网上查找我不认识的单词.
“Is that the correct spelling?” “I don’t know—look it up in a dictionary.” “那是正确的拼写吗?”“我不知道——查查词典吧.”
I didn’t know what “loquacious” meant and had to look it up in a dictionary.我不知道loquacious这个是什么意思,所以只好查了词典.
有不少人认为英语习惯上不能直接说 look up the dictionary,其实这种表达在英语中也可以用,只是比较少见而已.例如:
I spend more time looking up the dictionary than reading the book.我读这本书时查字典的时间还多些.——摘自 L.G.Alexander 编《新概念英语》(外研社)
Look up the dictionary and explain the meaning of the italicized words.查字典然后解释斜体词的意思.——摘自张汉熙编《高级英语》(商务印书馆)
