¿To see, to watch o to look?
Los tres verbos reflejan tres conceptos muy distintos. To see hace referencia a la capacidad visual y no es fruto de una acción deliberada. A menudo se usa con can o could: I can see the mountains from my bedroom. Puedo ver las montañas desde mi dormitorio.
To look at implica una acción deliberada: I saw an old atlas, so I opened it and looked at the maps. Vi un atlas antiguo, así que lo abrí y miré los mapas.
To watch también se refiere a una acción deliberada, a menudo cuando se tiene un interés especial por lo que ocurre: I watched the planes in the sky with great interest. Miraba los aviones en el cielo con gran interés. Igualmente puede indicar el paso del tiempo (we watched the animals playing for half an hour, durante media hora observamos cómo jugaban los animales), movimiento (they stood there watching the cars drive off into the distance, se quedaron allí de pie viendo cómo se marchaban los coches) o vigilancia (the policemen have been watching this house because they thought we were thieves, los policías estaban vigilando la casa porque pensaban que éramos ladrones).
Para hablar de películas u obras de teatro usamos to see: Have you seen Hamlet?, ¿Has visto Hamlet? To watch se refiere a la televisión y los deportes en general: I always watch the television in the evening. Siempre veo la televisión por las noches. I like to watch football. Me gusta ver el fútbol. Al hablar de programas o partidos específicos podemos usar tanto to watch como to see: I like to see/watch the news at 9:00. Me gusta ver las noticias a las 9.00. Did you see/watch the match last night?, ¿Viste el partido anoche?

разг.

1) (поспешно уходить, убегать, исчезать (обычно от опасности, преследования и т. п.)) take to one's heels; try to escape safe and sound; make a run of it; pull foot; show a clean pair of heels

Гарин подошёл к тройному зеркалу... Он долго глядел на себя, и вдруг один глаз его сам собою насмешливо подмигнул... "Уноси ноги, Пьер Гарри, уноси ноги поскорее", - проговорил он самому себе шёпотом. (А. Толстой, Гиперболоид инженера Гарина) — Garin walked over to the triple mirror... He looked at himself for a long time and suddenly one of his eyes winked mockingly of its own accord. 'Take to your heels, Pierre Harry, take to your heels as quickly as you can,' he said to himself in a whisper.

- Какие там диспозиции! Лишь бы нам удалось ноги отсюда до ночи унести подобру-поздорову. Не время сейчас писаниной заниматься! (А. Степанов, Порт-Артур) — 'No! There's no time for that sort of thing now. We'll be lucky if we get out of here safe and sound before night sets in!'

- едва ноги унести

2) (быстро, беспорядочно отступать под натиском противника) flee as fast as one's legs would carry one; take to panic flight

Остатки разбитых немецко-фашистских дивизий устремились на юго-запад, в сторону Будогощи, и частично на запад, в сторону Волхова. Бросая обозы, технику, сжигая склады с продовольствием, боеприпасами и горючим, гитлеровцы спешили унести ноги. (К. Мерецков, Неколебимо, как Россия) — The remnants of the routed German divisions fled, partly in a south-westerly direction, towards Budogoshch, and partly west, towards Volkhov. They fled as fast as their legs would carry them, abandoning their transport, equipment and blazing food, petrol and ammunition stores.
