“伸着脖子看”可以用英语表达为 “stretch one's neck to look” 或 “crane one's neck to look”。
“stretch one's neck to look”：直接描述了伸长脖子的动作来看东西，较为直观。
“crane one's neck to look”： “crane” 在这里作动词，意为“伸长（脖子）”，形象地表达了伸长脖子去看的情景，在英语中更为常用和地道。
例如：
People were stretching their necks to look at the accident on the other side of the road.（人们伸长脖子看着路对面的那场事故。）
The crowd craned their necks to get a better view of the parade.（人群伸长脖子想更好地观看游行队伍。）
