都表示“尋找”， look for 和 find 的用法和區別

在英文的使用中，look for 和 find 雖然都與“尋找”相關，但它們的用法和強調點卻有顯著的不同。look for 著重於尋找的過程，而 find 則聚焦於尋找的結果。理解這兩個詞的差異對於準確地表達我們的意圖非常重要。

Look for

look for 通常用來表示尋找的動作本身，強調的是尋找過程。當你正在尋找某物但尚未找到時，你會用 look for 這個詞。

I am looking for my keys. 我在找我的鑰匙。
She spent the whole morning looking for the perfect dress. 她花了整個早上尋找完美的禮服。

Find

相比之下，find 則是指在尋找過程之後成功地發現或碰到某物。它表示尋找的結果。因此在描述已經找到的事物時常常使用過去式。

I finally found my keys under the sofa. 我最終在沙發下找到了我的鑰匙。
She found the information she needed for her report. 她找到了撰寫報告所需的資訊。
