Kit... ordered... him to bring three dozen... oysters, and to look sharp about it! (Ch. Dickens, ‘The Old Curiosity Shop’, ch. XXXIX) — Кит... заказал... ему три дюжины... устриц и попросил принести их как можно скорее.

You had better look sharp, if you want to be in time. (J. Conrad, ‘Chance’, part II, ch. III) — Вам следовало бы поторопиться, если вы хотите попасть вовремя.

‘Come on, kid,’ cried Edward, softly to the boy. ‘Look slippy with those copies. We don't want to be here all night.’ (J. B. Priestley, ‘They Walk in the City’, ch. VI) — - Иди-ка сюда, - мягко обратился Эдвард к мальчику. - Пошевеливайся с этими копиями. Не весь же вечер здесь торчать!

‘For the love of Mike, doctor,’ he cried, ‘Look alive. We mustn't keep the old man waiting.’ (F. W. Crofts, ‘Mystery in the Channel’, ch. I) — - Ради бога, доктор, - воскликнул Макинтош, - не возитесь долго! Не следует заставлять капитана ждать.

2) смотреть в оба, не (про)зевать; ≈ держать ухо востро

‘Do look sharp for old Bounderby, Loo!’ said Tom, with an impatient whistle. ‘He'll be off if you don't look sharp!’ (Ch. Dickens, ‘Hard Times’, book I, ch. IX) — - Не прозевай старого Баундерби, Лу! - сказал Том, от нетерпения насвистывая. - Он уйдет, не зевай.

But look sharp, for they will be here in a couple of minutes. (G. K. Chesterton, ‘The Man Who Was Thursday’, ch. II) — Но смотрите в оба: они будут здесь через несколько минут.

If we don't look sharp they'll be callin' our loans. (Th. Dreiser, ‘The Financier’, ch. XXIV) — Нам надо держать ухо востро, а не то от нас потребуют погашения ссуд.
