a piece of cake和serve sb. right 都是英语的习惯用语，也可称作习语(idiom) ，类似于汉语的成语。习语是人们在长期的语言运用中确定或形成的一种固定表达方式，所表达的意思不能从字面上去理解。
eg：Practice makes perfect.
熟能生巧。
Love me, love my dog.
爱屋及乌。
Actions speak louder than words.
行动胜于言辞。

=You can look this word up in the vocabulary.
Can you look it up on the website
（2）look up还可意为“抬头看”，常和from连用。
