take care of作“照顾、照料”解，相当于look after. 如：① I believe that neighbors can take care of your son while you are out. 相信我外出期间我的邻居们会照顾我的儿子的。② The boy is very young. He can’t take care of himself. 这男孩很小，不可以照顾自己。take care of作“保管、保护”解。如：① The teacher told the students to take care of the new books. 老师告知学生要保护好新书。② Can you take care of your thing？ 你会保管你的物品吗？★take care of与look after都能作“照顾、照料”解，可以互相替换。但look after没有“保管、保护”的意思。如：① She stayed at home and took care of her mother yesterday. ＝She stayed at home and looked after her mother yesterday. 昨天她呆在家里照料她母亲了。② Who is going go take care of the wounded person in the hospital? ＝Who is going to look after the wounded person in the hospital？ 谁去医院照料那个受伤的人？③ Children must take good care of their eyes. ≠Children must look after their eyes well. 孩子们要好好保护眼睛。★take good care of和look after…well意义相同，都是“好好照料、好好照顾”的意思。 但要注意，take care of用的是good一词，而look after则用well。如：① Don’t worry. I can take good care of your pet while you are away. ＝Don’t worry. I can look after your pet well while you are away. 放心，你不在时，我会照料好你的宠物的。② The nurses took good care of the children. ＝The nurses looked after the children well. 保育员把孩子照料得很好
