I looked the word up in the dictionary to refresh my memory of its exact meaning.  我查了词典，以便弄清这个词的准确意思。

I often look up the words I don’t know in the dictionary or on the Internet. 我经常在字典里或网上查找我不认识的单词。

“Is that the correct spelling?” “I don’t know—look it up in a dictionary.”  “那是正确的拼写吗？”“我不知道——查查词典吧。”

I didn’t know what “loquacious” meant and had to look it up in a dictionary.  我不知道loquacious这个是什么意思，所以只好查了词典。
