易错句子Don't gawk me.
正确表达Don't gawk at me.
gawk 是不及物动词，不能直接接宾语；表示“盯着某人看”时必须用 gawk at sb.，所以要在 me 前加介词 at。
grammar · medium
易错句子She always gawk at strangers.
正确表达She always gawks at strangers.
一般现在时中主语 she 是第三人称单数，动词 gawk 要加 -s 变为 gawks，不能用原形 gawk。
意思与 gawk 几乎相同，都指愚蠢地张口呆看，但 gawp 是英式英语的常用说法，gawk 在美式英语中更常见；日常口语中两者可互换，正式写作里 gawk 更通用。
gape 强调张着嘴，多因惊讶或惊奇，不一定含“愚蠢”的贬义；gawk 更强调傻看、显眼地呆看，常带贬义。另外 gape 还可表示“裂开”，gawk 没有这一用法。
stare 是中性词，只表示长时间注视，原因可以是生气、好奇或无礼；gawk 特指愚蠢或显眼地呆看，带贬义。若只想表达“看很久”而不含贬义，用 stare 更自然。
