你可不可以找找這些作文﹐然後告訴我要是好不好﹖

Would this be the right way to say, "Can you look over these compositions, then tell me if they're OK?"

Also,

how would you say "Can I see my grade?"

and

"Can you read traditional characters?"

[skylee]

Consider these -

你可不可以看一看這些作文﹐然後告訴我它們有沒有問題﹖

Can I see my grade? -> 我可不可以看看我的分數/考試(測驗)成績?

Can you read traditional characters -> 你看得懂繁體字嗎?

Could you use 过眼 / 过目 here – to ‘pass an eye’ meaning to look over.

过眼 --- is this a phrase ??

过目--- too formal for most situations I would say.

[roddy]

过眼 is in my dictionary - I happened to see it when I was checking 过目 existed. Which reminds me . . .

you can say "你可以过目一下吗？/请你过目一下。"

never heard of 过眼.

[Jive Turkey]

I don't think 过眼 is really used in modern Chinese; it's probably something only seen in classical Chinese, ie 过眼云烟. In that idiom, I don't think it really means the same as 过目 even though dictionaries compare the two.

[BeijingSlacker]

did a bit research. it seems that the phrase 过眼 does exit and has a somehwat similar meaning to 过目。

Its definitely a very uncommon phrase though.

Cool. Must remind myself of what I told my students when they trusted their dictionaries too much . . .
