试析"look out the window"和 "look out of the&n

我发现有以上两种说法出现在孩子的学习过程中。Side by
Side朗文国际英语教程BOOK1-05'Right now I’m looking out the window,
and it’s raining cats and dogs. ', 新概念英语第二册Lesson2 'I looked out of
the window. It was dark outside.'
那么，到底两种说法有什么区别，或是两者意思相同，可以互换？
我们先来看字典中的解释：LONGMAN
dictionary of American English中解释如下：（只节选了相对应的部分): 1.from inside
something or through something: He was looking out the window at
the beach. 2 out of a) from a particular palce or time: I got a
Coke out of the refrigerator. A nail was sticking out of the
wall.这里第二个意思好像不适合这里。
金山词霸中收录的柯林斯高阶英汉双解学习词典(Collins COBUILD advanced learner's
English-Chinese Dictionary)中介词用法解释如下：Out of is used with verbs of
movement. Such as 'walk’ and ' pull', and also in phraral verbs
such as 'do out of ' and 'grow out of'. In American English
and Informal Brithish English, out is often used inste
ad of out of. 3. PREP-PHRASE if you look or shout out of a window,
you look or shout away from the room where you are towards the
outside: He went on staring out of the window. He looked out the
window at the car on the street below.(朝外...看/喊）
显而易见，柯林斯的说法能更好的诠释它们的用法：两种都可以用，一个是介词，一个是介词短语；一个正规些，一个美式英语或英国口语中使用来替代前者。Side
by Side 中明显是孩子信中美式口语化的说法，而新概念中是传统英式英语。
