例：Thepoliceman searched the prisoner to see if he had a gun.警察搜了那个囚犯的身,看

我们首先来看一个句子I am look for my dictionary, but I can’t find it. 我正在找我的字典，但是我找不到这句话中同时使用了look for和find来表示“找”，其实英语中的discover，search这两个词也是和“寻找”有关系。

1. look for 寻找，强调“找”的过程，是一个延续性的动词例：I am looking for my book. 我在找我的书2. find 找到，强调“找”的结果，是非延续性的动词例：Lucy found her cat finally. Lucy终于找到了她的猫。

例：I find it difficult to recite the text. 我觉得背诵这篇文章很难3. find out 指通过观察，探索而发现事实的真相，调查出原因、秘密等可加名词代词或从句 。

例：Please find out who stole the money . 请查一下谁偷了钱4. discover指发现客观事物的存在，已存在而不为人知的事情常常与invent“发明”一起进行对比例：Columbus discovered the America.哥伦布发现了美洲。

5. search 搜查，搜身，比look for更严肃、正式例：The policeman searched the prisoner to see if he had a gun.警察搜了那个囚犯的身,看他有没有枪。

search for的完整形式可以是search someplace for sb./sth在某地搜寻某人/某物We searched the woods for the missing boy. 我们在森林里搜寻迷失的小男孩。
