“see” a movie及“watch” a movie應如何區分?

1.    see是單純的看、不由自主的看、沒有特別的用意或意圖的看,例如I can see the blue sky.  I can see the birds flying. 

2.  watch是專注的看、較長時間的看、有自主意願的看,例如watch TV, Watch me dance!

比較下列兩句:

I saw my mother make a cake yesterday. 我昨天「有看到」我媽媽做蛋糕。表示可能是經過廚房的時候正好看到,但沒有停下來特別留意或幫忙。

I watched my mother make a cake yesterday. 我昨天「看著」我媽媽做蛋糕。表示可能在旁邊幫忙或學習,有很注意的看。

3.  watch可用於進行式的句子中,see則不會,但可說can see…來表示看到的情形,

  I’m watching him playing baseball.  I can see him playing baseball而不會說I’m seeing him play baseball.

4.  一般口語用法中,到電影院看電影see a movie已成為習慣用語,因此不會被認為是錯誤的說法。但是除此以外都是用watch,例如I’m watching a movie on HBO.
