take care of 和look after 到底有什么区别

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

look after 与take care of 的用法区别?
答：take care of作“照顾、照料”解,相当于look after.如：
① I believe that neighbors can take care of your son while you are out.
相信我外出期间我的邻居们会照顾我的儿子的.
② The boy is very young.He can’t take care of himself.这男孩很小,不可以照顾自己.
take care of作“保管、保护”解.如：
① The teacher told the students to take care of the new books.
老师告知学生要保护好新书.
② Can you take care of your thing?你会保管你的物品吗?
★take care of与look after都能作“照顾、照料”解,可以互相替换.但look after没有“保管、保护”的意思.如：
① She stayed at home and took care of her mother yesterday.
＝She stayed at home and looked after her mother yesterday.
昨天她呆在家里照料她母亲了.
② Who is going go take care of the wounded person in the hospital?
＝Who is going to look after the wounded person in the hospital?
谁去医院照料那个受伤的人?
③ Children must take good care of their eyes.
≠Children must look after their eyes well.
孩子们要好好保护眼睛.
★take good care of和look after…well意义相同,都是“好好照料、好好照顾”的意思.
但要注意,take care of用的是good一词,而look after则用well.如：
① Don’t worry.I can take good care of your pet while you are away.
＝Don’t worry.I can look after your pet well while you are away.
放心,你不在时,我会照料好你的宠物的.
② The nurses took good care of the children.
＝The nurses looked after the children well.
保育员把孩子照料得很好.

Answer 2

take care of 和look after一般是可以互换的。 1）take care of 有两个意思： 1. 照顾 Please take care of the baby for me for a while, will you? 请替我照顾一下这孩子,好吗? 2. 处理 Better devices are needed in many countries to take care of the waste from factories. 很多国家需要更先进的装置来处理工业废物。 而look after只有一个意思： 1. 照顾 Who will look after your children while you go out to work? 你上班时谁来照料你的孩子?

look after就是行为上比较具体的照顾，比如说The mother is looking after her sicky son.就不能翻译成 is taking care of……因为take care of是比较广义的照顾，一般都用来嘱咐说，照顾好自己或是自己的东西，比如Take good care of your handbag!而care of则更多的表示操心、关心之类的意思。且在这里care是动词，再take care of里，care 是名词。
