[英文] 關於瞄,窺視的英文

glance = to take a brief look (intentionally) - lanciare un'occhiata
glimpse = to take a brief look (unintentionally); a "glimpse" can also be intentional, for example, when someone is trying very hard to see something and then finally catches a glimpse of it. When intentional, a "glimpse" usually requires more effort, or maybe some stroke of luck. - guardare di sfuggita (qualcuno/qualcosa) 
stare = to give a rude look to somebody; a "stare" is not always rude--I can stare at someone in the same way I might gaze at him or her. Also, you can definitely "stare" at things, which is hardly ever rude. "Staring" generally just means to look at someone or something for a long time, for whatever reason. - guardare fisso, con intenzione, fissare.
gaze = to give a romantic look to somebody; when referred to "someone," it does have a romantic sense, but when referred to something, it may simply have a sense of tranquillity, remarkability, astonishment, etc. For example, "to gaze at the stars." 
guardare con insistenza, intensamente.
contemplate = to observe deeply; this does not have much to do with sight. - contemplare, guardare con ammirazione  
skim = to read inattentively; yes, but not in a negative sense. It simply means "to gather the main idea(s) of a text by reading it quickly." - scorrere (un testo)
scan = to read with attention; this word can overlap with "to skim" at times, but you're right that it usually means "to read more diligently," in the sense that the reader attends to every part of the text. - scrutare, analizzare con lo sguardo 
peek = to take a brief look, secretly :thumbsup: - sbirciare
peep = to take a long look, secretly; yes, and this verb is usually used in the progressive: "he was peeping" or "We are peeping"--which adds to the idea of a longer length of time. - spiare
peer = to observe searching something; I think you mean "to search for something by making an observation." Also, "to peer" is usually followed by a preposition--"to peer into something," "to peer over something."
 - scrutare, aguzzare la vista
