From Gwendo:
Sorry capablanca, I don't understand why do you say "the opposite" (Gegensatz), because all forms seem to say the same.
Please explain to me why do you write "the opposite".
to read over/through: etw. durchsehen, überfliegen
to run over sth: etw. durchgehen
to check over: etwas überprüfen
Thanks Gwendo,when sb. says read over a text, that means reading slowly and carefully, like checking over a contract. However it doesn't mean runing over a text or reading fast and superficial like scanning a flyer. I think both sentences are quite different.
to read over : durchsehen OK ueberfliegen NO
