“粗略一看”常见的英文表达有:
At first glance:这是最常用且地道的表达,强调初次、快速地看一眼后得出的初步印象。例如:At first glance, the problem seemed simple, but on closer inspection, it proved to be quite complex.(粗略一看,这个问题似乎很简单,但仔细检查后,发现它相当复杂。)
A quick look:侧重于表示快速地、不经意地看了一眼,突出动作的迅速性。例如:I had a quick look at the report and didn't notice any obvious mistakes.(我粗略地看了一下报告,没发现什么明显的错误。)
A cursory glance:“cursory”有“草率的;粗略的;仓促的”意思,这个短语强调看的动作比较敷衍、不深入。例如:He gave the contract a cursory glance before signing it.(他在签字之前只是粗略地看了一眼合同。)
