用法讲解
- seem的基本意思是“好像”“似乎”,指根据某迹象按照自己的主观印象、看法作出的主观判断或个人推断,虽然有一定的根据,但并不一定是事实。通常不用于进行体。
- seem表示“感觉”时可接“to be+名词或形容词”、介词短语、动词不定式、现在分词、过去分词作表语。在接名词作表语时,如名词前有形容词修饰, to be可以省略,如没有形容词修饰, to be则不可省略,在形容词作主语补足语时to be不可省略,其余情况下to be常省略。
- seem还可接连词that或连词短语as if〔though〕引导的从句作表语, as if〔though〕的从句常用陈述语气, that从句可用于陈述语气,也可用虚拟语气。此时主语多为非人称代词it。
- 当句子主语由动词不定式充当时多采用以it作形式主语的结构。
- 在含有seem的句子中,有时可插入to sb。为了强调,有时to sb 可移至句首。
- seem还可用于存在句中, seem的主语可为名词、代词或动词不定式(多为to be), seem的形式要与其后的主语一致。
- 在美式英语中seem常用于转移否定句型。
- seem, appear, look
-
- 这三个词都可用作系动词,表示“看起来”。其区别是:
- 1.在含义上, appear 强调外表上给人的某种印象,有时含实质上并非如此的意思; look意味着看上去如此,实际亦是如此; seem 则暗示判断有一定根据,这种判断往往接近事实。例如:
- He appears to be very young.
- 他看上去很年轻。(实际上不一定如此)
- He looks to be very young.
- 他看上去很年轻。(实际上也年轻)
- He seems to be very young.
- 他看上去很年轻。(可能他的确很年轻)
- 2.在用法上,这三个词都可跟形容词或“to be+形容词或名词”结构,也可用于It appears〔appeared〕/looks〔looked〕/seems〔seemed〕 as if...结构。但是, appear 和seem跟to- v 时仍表示“看起来”,而look 接to- v 则是“盼望”的意思。例如:
- He appears〔seems〕 to know it.
- 他看来知道这件事。
- He looks to hear from you.
- 他期待你来信。
- 另外, appear 和seem可用于It appears〔appeared〕/seems〔seemed〕 that...结构,而look不能。例如:
- 我看他似乎很喜欢看这部小说。
- [误] It looks to me that he enjoys read- ing the novel.
- [正] It appears〔seems〕 to me that he enjoys reading the novel.
- 还有, appear 和seem一般不用于进行体; 而look可用现在进行时,这和一般现在时所表示的意思无多大区别。例如:
- You are looking〔look〕 very unhappy.你看起来很不高兴。
- 下面各组中的两个句子意思相同:
-
- He seemed to be ill.
- It seemed that he was ill.
- 他好像在生病。
- He doesn't seem to be at home.
- He seems not to be at home.
- 他好像不在家。
- 下面两句意思不同:
-
- It seems as if it might rain.
- 看样子像要下雨似的。
- It seems as if it is going to rain.
- 看来快要下雨了。
- appear,look,seem
-
- 这些动词均有“看起来,好像是”之意。
- appear指从感观印象看似乎是如此,但有时着重指因视野、观点限制而产生的歪曲印象。
- look指从样子看起来,侧重通过视觉而建立的印象。
- seem多指从主观印象或个反应得出的看法。
- seem like (v.+prep.)
-
-
仿佛…似的 look like sth
seem like sb/sthShe seems like a reasonable person.
