 Re: look up a/ the dictionary
This is one of the questions with "look up":
If you don't understand some words in the book, you can ____ a dictionary.
A. refer to B. read C. look up D. check (The given answer is A.)
The following is taken from one of the Chinese-published dictionaries--A DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH PHRASAL VERBS(1982):
look up5: consult (a reference work, etc) in order to find out information): If you wish to have further information about the matter, look up this book.
I thought we ccould say 'look up a dictionary' just according to this expanation and sample sentence. And this dictionary is compiled by one of China's most famous professors of English. |
