catch seek search spot区别

catch 主要指动作,catch a butterfly,强调的是快速的抓取,夺取,也是四个词中意思较多的一个,我直举几个跟你问题相关的：
vt.
接住 I threw the ball to him and he caught it.
我将球扔给他,他接住了.
偶然撞见,突然发觉
He caught the boys stealing apples from his garden.
他撞上那些男孩子在他的花园里偷苹果.
赶上,追上
They ran as fast as they could to catch the bus.
他们飞速奔跑去赶公共汽车.
这些例句就说明了catch强调动作
seek:
主要是寻找,追求的意思,通常指带有较确定目标的寻找,追求,
Under John Kennedy's leadership,this Nation has demonstrated that it has the courage to seek peace,and it has the fortitude to risk war
在约翰·肯尼迪的领导下,我国证明了它既有追求和平的勇气,也有不惜一战的刚毅.
还有“躲猫猫”：hide and seek
3 search:
与seek接近,但它没有追求的意思,纯粹的搜索；搜寻,（更有大范围的寻找某物的意思）而且还有调查；探查,勘查的意思,这些是seek没有的.
This would be considered an illegal search.
这会被认为是非法搜查.
To rove and raid in search of booty.
劫掠为了寻找劫掠品四处流浪和抢劫
4,spot,就简单了,其名词就是“点”的意思,动词就是强调,发现.
不论是有意的或是无意的寻找,注重的是结果,可理解为在一大片区域内发现一个亮点.
例如：Enemy spotted
