How to say "Look" in Japanese

When translating "look" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 見下ろす and 目を通す.

On the other hand, 目を通す (めをとおす (me o tōsu)) maps to "to look over; to skim through; to glance over" (Syllabus Level: N2) and represents An idiomatic expression meaning to read something quickly or briefly, often just to get the main points or check for obvious errors, without deep scrutiny.
