Phrase | to look up to |
Text | The phrase "to look up to (someone)," in this podcast, means to admire and respect someone, or to think that someone is a very good person and try to be like him or her: "Most young children look up to their parents." The phrase "to look the other way" means to ignore something bad that is happening and not try to stop it: "Most people knew about the accounting problems, but they just decided to look the other way and not say anything." The phrase "look what you've done" is used when one is very angry about something bad that another person has done: "Look what you've done! You spilled red wine all over the carpet." Finally, the phrase "just looking" is used in a store to tell a salesperson that one doesn't need help: "A: Do you need help finding anything, ma'am? B: No thank you, I'm just looking." |
