Русский глагол смотреть, как и его наиболее нейтральный эквивалент to look, называет действие, не конкретизируя его ни по способу и манере, ни по сопровождающим и вызывающим его эмоциям. Манера смотрения и сопряженные с этим действием эмоции и обстоятельства в английском языке передаются рядом других, более конкретизированных глаголов.

1. to look — смотреть: to look at smb, smth — смотреть на кого-либо, что-либо; to look behind — посмотреть назад; to look in surprise — смотреть с удивлением; to look with suspicion — смотреть с подозрением Try to look at it from my point of view. — Постарайся посмотреть на это с моей точки зрения.

Your spectacles are staring you in the face! — Вот же твои очки, прямо на тебя смотрят!

3. to gape — долго смотреть ( на что-либо), пялиться, смотреть ( на что-либо), разинув рот (от большого удивления, неожиданности): She stood gaping at me too shocked to speak. — Она уставилась на меня и изумлении, не в состоянии что-либо сказать. Jim gaped open mouthed to take in what they said to him. — Джим, разинув рот, смотрел на них, пытаясь понять, что они ему сказали. I could only gape in astonishment as he picked up the gun and pointed it at me. — Я только в изумлении уставился на него, когда он поднял ружье и направил его на меня.

4. to gaze — смотреть, уставиться, смотреть в одну точку (смотреть на что-либо долго, потому что объект очень красив или представляет большой интерес, не отдавая себе отчета, что вы рассматриваете тот предмет): They lay down and gazed at the clouds passing overhead. — Они лежали и, устремив глаза вверх, смотрели на проплывающие над ними облака. She gazed steadily at the singer, unable to believe she was so close to him. — Они пристально смотрела на певца, не веря своим глазам, что стоит с ним рядом. She sat and gazed into the distance lost in thought. — Она сидела и не ОТрывая глаз смотрела вдаль, погруженная в свои мысли. I could see from the direction he was gazing into that he was looking at my new car. — Мне было ясно по направлению его взгляда, что он рассматривал мою новую машину.

5. tо eye — оглядывать ( кого-либо) с головы до ног, смотреть (на коголибо, что-либо с интересом или с неудовольствием): The two learns eyed each other suspiciously, waiting for the game io begin. — Ожидая начала игры, обе команды подозрительно разглядывали друг друга. The boys eyed that bike with interest, hoping to be allowed to try it. — Мальчики с интересом рассматривали велосипед в надежде, что им разрешат на нем покататься.

6. to glance — смотреть, взглянуть на что-либо (бросить быстрый взгляд, бегло посмотреть или просмотреть что-либо, особенно поднимая и опуская глаза): Не glanced back/over his shoulder. — Он оглянулся. I glanced through the newspaper. — Я просмотрел газету.
