陷阱
⚠️seek vs. look for:书面语 vs. 口语,目的性不同
The organisation actively seeks talented graduates who are passionate about social impact and innovation.
seeks = looks for(完全可以互换,只是风格不同)
seek(书面正式,主动追求,含「有策略地寻求」之意,多用于正式招募、外交、政策语境);look for(口语/中性,泛指寻找,范围广);此句是正式招聘语境,seek 更合适,也更常见
该组织积极寻求对社会影响力和创新充满热情的优秀毕业生。(seek = 正式、有目的地寻求,非口语的 look for)
⚠️seek to do vs. try to do:态度不同
The peace talks seek to establish a lasting ceasefire between the two sides.
seek to = try to(努力尝试,强调费力气)
seek to do(谋求,旨在实现)强调「有目的地努力推进」,书面正式,政策/外交语境高频;try to do 更口语,强调「尝试」本身,不带正式感
和平谈判旨在在双方之间建立持久停火。(seek to = 旨在,有目的地推进,比 try to 更书面正式)
近义辨析

Q1近义选词
选择最恰当的词填空:
After losing her job, she spent three months ___ a new position in the same industry before eventually considering a career change.
Aseeking
Bsearching for
✓ 失业后,她花了三个月时间在同行业搜寻新职位,最终才考虑转行。
search for(仔细搜寻)强调「积极寻找的过程」,三个月的求职是一个持续搜寻的过程;seek 更书面,强调「有目的地寻求」,偏政策/正式语境,与口语的求职叙述语气不搭

seek to do sth.(旨在做某事)是书面正式用法,用于政策/法规语境描述目标,用法正确

面对不断加剧的社会不平等,各国政府应寻求更公平的税收政策,以缩小贫富差距。
In the face of growing social inequality, governments should seek more equitable taxation policies to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor.
关键搭配:seek more equitable taxation policies
seek more equitable taxation policies(寻求更公平的税收政策)是议论文提出政策建议的核心书面表达,seek 比 look for 更书面,符合正式议论文语气
