Look at the map, please.      请看这张地图。

（3）watch 意为“观察；注视”，指以较大的注意力观看,带有娱乐性的观赏之意。如：

There’ re many people in the room. Suddenly I noticed a man was always looking at others’ bags. 屋里有许多人，突然我注意到一个男人总是盯着别人的包。

3. This is what our brain looks like.  这就是我们的大脑的样子。

本句是一个表语从句，表语从句和主语指同一内容，它对主语进行解释、说明，使主语的内容具体化。
