The Chinese word 看作 (kànzuò) is a verb-object compound that literally means "to look at as" or "to regard as". It is composed of the verb 看 (kàn), which means "to look at" or "to see", and the object 作 (zuò), which means "to make" or "to do". When used together, 看作 means to consider or regard something as something else. For example, you could say 他看作朋友 (tā kànzuò péngyou), which means "he regards him as a friend".The word 看作 can also be used in a more figurative sense to mean "to think of" or "to imagine". For example, you could say 我看作一个作家 (wǒ kànzuò yīgè zuòjiā), which means "I think of myself as a writer".The word 看作 is a common word in Chinese and can be used in a variety of contexts. It is important to understand the literal meaning of the word in order to use it correctly.
