gaze + at + object

gaze + into + object

gaze + out at + object

用法筆記

Cannot take a direct object. The most common preposition is at, followed by into for depth (eyes, water, fire) and out at for scenery. Gaze upon/on sounds slightly literary.

常見錯誤

❌She gazed him with admiration.
✅She gazed at him with admiration.
💡gaze is intransitive and always needs a preposition before the object.
❌I gazed the stars all night.
✅I gazed at the stars all night.
💡the preposition at (or up at) is required before the thing being looked at.
