look,sight,view,glance,glimpse这组名词在一起比较的含义都与视觉有关。
look 一般有这样两层含义：对视觉器官的使用，即“朝……看”；看的行为所产生的印象，用于人时指“神态”或“样子”，用于物时指“面貌”
May I have a look at it please?
请让我看一看好吗？
The old city has taken on a new look.
旧城换新貌。
sight 表示“视觉所接受的景象”，但不含有“自觉地使用视觉器官”的意思，而表示“目的物进入了眼帘”。这时它虽是名词，却有动作的含义，常用于 catch sight of 和 at the sight of 等短语中。sight 在用于表示风景时，一般有修饰语来说明“特征”，从而使视觉所接受的印象更为明确，更为具体
…but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk.
但是那公牛突然看到了那个酒汉。
…you can enjoy the extraordinary sight of unbroken cloud plains…
……你可以欣赏那连绵不断的云海的非凡景象……
view 在表示动作概念时，含有注视的意思；在表示风景时，不象 sight 那样要求有修饰语。如果说 sight 有“视力”的含义，那么 view 有“见解”的含义
…The landscape is hidden from view. …
…大地的风光被遮住而看不见了……(其含义是想去观赏，凝视)
An aeroplane offers you an unusual and breathtaking view of the world.
飞机为你提供非凡的，令人惊诧不已的地球景色。（句中的 view 既有凝视的动作含义，又有风景的状态含义）
He always takes an extreme view.
他总是持极端见解。
glance 的原义是“闪现”，如活动着的反光物体在阳光下的闪烁，后来慢慢演变为“迅速的看”这一含义
He took a glance at it briefly, and then he told me to look again.
他向它略略瞟了一眼，然后叫我再看看。
glimpse 既可表示瞥一眼的行为，又可表示瞥一眼所看到的东西
When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake.
当他开始吹一支曲子时，我们第一次瞥见了那条蛇。
This is my glimpse of New York.
这就是我对纽约的一瞥所见。
