Question

look after 与take care of的区别

Answer 1

go through.一般从空间穿过
across从平面穿过

take care of作“照顾、照料”解，相当于look after. 如：
① I believe that neighbors can take care of your son while you are out.
相信我外出期间我的邻居们会照顾我的儿子的。
② The boy is very young. He can’t take care of himself. 这男孩很小，不可以照顾自己。
take care of作“保管、保护”解。如：
① The teacher told the students to take care of the new books.
老师告知学生要保护好新书。
② Can you take care of your thing？ 你会保管你的物品吗？
★take care of与look after都能作“照顾、照料”解，可以互相替换。但look after没有“保管、保护”的意思。如：
① She stayed at home and took care of her mother yesterday.
＝She stayed at home and looked after her mother yesterday.
昨天她呆在家里照料她母亲了。
② Who is going go take care of the wounded person in the hospital?
＝Who is going to look after the wounded person in the hospital？
谁去医院照料那个受伤的人？
③ Children must take good care of their eyes.
≠Children must look after their eyes well.
孩子们要好好保护眼睛。
★take good care of和look after…well意义相同，都是“好好照料、好好照顾”的意思。
但要注意，take care of用的是good一词，而look after则用well。如：
① Don’t worry. I can take good care of your pet while you are away.
＝Don’t worry. I can look after your pet well while you are away.
放心，你不在时，我会照料好你的宠物的。
② The nurses took good care of the children.
＝The nurses looked after the children well.
保育员把孩子照料得很好。

Answer 2

从意思看基本没有什么区别，这两个可以替换着使用。但是如果两者出现在了一道题里，而且非要选择其一的话，look after 偏向下级照顾上级，幼照顾长， take care of 偏向上级照顾下级， 长照顾幼。
