高三英语课本知识点 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] adictionary。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.
