scan

常用用法

這四個詞都有“讀”的意思。它們之間的區別是：browse指“泛讀”“瀏覽”,其目的在於挑選,有時也引申爲採購其他物品; leaf一般指快速繙動,其目的衹看看關鍵性的詞滙或段落,多與through連用; 而scan則指迅速閲讀一篇文章以便能抓住其主要內容,其目的性很強,也比leaf和browse嚴肅; 而read屬於普通用語,應用十分廣泛,既可指“泛讀”“瀏覽”,也可指“朗讀”“默讀”“精讀”。例如:
There was no time to read the whole magazine so I just browsed through the pages.由於沒有時間讀完整本襍志,所以我衹是隨便繙閲了一下。
She often browses in dress shops during her lunch hour.她利用午餐休息時間經常逛逛服裝店。
He quickly leafed through the phone book to find the numbers of a few hotels.他很快地繙閲著電話簿查找一些飯店的電話號碼。
She scanned the list of names to see if hers was on it.她粗略地看了一下名單,想知道是否有她的名字。
