'Leaf through' nghĩa là giở sách, lật từng trang sách như khi tìm kiếm (thông tin) hay xem lướt một cuốn sách (to turn pages, as in searching or browsing).

Ví dụ
Initially their feelings are expressed only in loaded (nặng nề) glances (liếc nhìn), and then, long scenes of dialogue. In a pivotal scene, Aydin is sitting at his desk, typing his latest column into his MacBook, while his sister, Necla, leafing through a magazine, sits behind him on a sofa.

Revisiting the show and leafing through copies of the catalog and of Goya’s great print series at home, I find myself wondering: Is it permissible (chấp nhận được), today, in an enlightened (khai sáng), pluralistic (đa nguyên) society, to insist (nhấn mạnh/khăng khăng) so vehemently (kịch liệt) on this stupidity, and in particular on the stupidity of violence?

The letters that Redlich found were the first letters Joe wrote to Rose after they were married. Leafing through the envelopes that have yellowed with time, Rose Hill grew quiet. She opened one and read it. Tears welled in her eyes. She laughed. She whispered, "Oh my God."

She is leafing through The Color Purple, a book acquired on a visit home to her mother’s over the Christmas. Years ago she started to read the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Alice Walker “to improve my vocabulary” but found the language from the American Deep South somewhat alien and not what she needed at the time. Now she is engrossed. A changed woman.
