seek
寻找的英文:seek / look for(口语最常用)。seek的读音:英[siːk];美[sik]。中文意思:vt. 寻求;寻找;探索;搜索;vi. 寻找;探索;搜索。词源上 seek 来自古英语 sēcan,可追溯至原始印欧语 *sag-(追踪、找出),与 beseech(恳求)、sake(缘故)同源;同根的拉丁语 sagire 意为“敏锐地感知”,故 sagacious(睿智的)也是远亲——由“循迹而寻”引申出“寻找、寻求”之义。注意:look for 是“寻找”最常用的口语说法,但 seek 更正式,且常用于抽象事物(寻求帮助、寻求真相)。
search, find, hunt, quest, forage, rummage, ferret, explore, scout, track, trace, probe, locate, 这些都有“寻找/搜寻”的意思。具体用哪个看语境。
