look;

to curry² favour with sb；

look [l?k] n. 看; 寻找;

jump-start v
jump，跳；start，启动，jump start指的是如果一辆汽车上的电池没电发动不了，可以用两根电线把没电的电池和另一辆汽车上的好电池相连，帮助这辆汽车启动，这个过程就叫做jump start，‘跨接起动’。而这两根电线就称为jump cables，跨接电缆线。例子，：
After the movie he found his battery was dead so he had to phone me to come and give him a jump start.等到看完电影，他发现他汽车的电池没电了，于是只得打电话叫我开车去给他的车跨接启动。
jump start常被借用作比喻意义，常用短语为give a jump start to something意思，利用经费等资源，立即开展某件事，听一个长的例句：
The city didn't have enough money to fix the streets so the mayor borrowed money from the state highway fund to give a jump start to an emergency project to fill the potholes⁴.市内没有足够的经费来整修路面，于是市长借用州的高速公路经费来推动开展填补路面凹坑的紧急方案。

to curry favour with another 逢迎；套近乎；讨好
curry一般为名词，意为‘咖哩’；但是这里它作动词，意思是讨好，奉承。而curry favor, 实际上就是拍马屁。
I know why neighbor came bearing⁵ fresh-baked cookies. I think it's an attempt to curry favor with me. 我知道我邻居为什么给我刚出炉的饼干了，我觉得她是想跟我套近乎。
