seem的詳細講解:
詞語用法
- seem的基本意思是“好像”“似乎”,指根據某跡象按照自己的主觀印象、看法作出的主觀判斷或個人推斷,雖然有一定的根據,但并不一定是事實。通常不用于進行體。
- seem表示“感覺”時可接“to be+名詞或形容詞”、介詞短語、動詞不定式、現在分詞、過去分詞作表語。在接名詞作表語時,如名詞前有形容詞修飾, to be可以省略,如沒有形容詞修飾, to be則不可省略,在形容詞作主語補足語時to be不可省略,其余情況下to be常省略。
- seem還可接連詞that或連詞短語as if〔though〕引導的從句作表語, as if〔though〕的從句常用陳述語氣, that從句可用于陳述語氣,也可用虛擬語氣。此時主語多為非人稱代詞it。
- 當句子主語由動詞不定式充當時多采用以it作形式主語的結構。
- 在含有seem的句子中,有時可插入to sb。為了強調,有時to sb 可移至句首。
- seem還可用于存在句中, seem的主語可為名詞、代詞或動詞不定式(多為to be), seem的形式要與其后的主語一致。
- 在美式英語中seem常用于轉移否定句型。
詞義辨析
- seem, appear, look
-
- 這三個詞都可用作系動詞,表示“看起來”。其區別是:
- 1.在含義上, appear 強調外表上給人的某種印象,有時含實質上并非如此的意思; look意味著看上去如此,實際亦是如此; seem 則暗示判斷有一定根據,這種判斷往往接近事實。例如:
- He appears to be very young.
- 他看上去很年輕。(實際上不一定如此)
- He looks to be very young.
- 他看上去很年輕。(實際上也年輕)
- He seems to be very young.
- 他看上去很年輕。(可能他的確很年輕)
- 2.在用法上,這三個詞都可跟形容詞或“to be+形容詞或名詞”結構,也可用于It appears〔appeared〕/looks〔looked〕/seems〔seemed〕 as if...結構。但是, appear 和seem跟to- v 時仍表示“看起來”,而look 接to- v 則是“盼望”的意思。例如:
- He appears〔seems〕 to know it.
- 他看來知道這件事。
- He looks to hear from you.
- 他期待你來信。
- 另外, appear 和seem可用于It appears〔appeared〕/seems〔seemed〕 that...結構,而look不能。例如:
- 我看他似乎很喜歡看這部小說。
- [誤] It looks to me that he enjoys read- ing the novel.
- [正] It appears〔seems〕 to me that he enjoys reading the novel.
- 還有, appear 和seem一般不用于進行體; 而look可用現在進行時,這和一般現在時所表示的意思無多大區別。例如:
- You are looking〔look〕 very unhappy.你看起來很不高興。
- 下面各組中的兩個句子意思相同:
-
- 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。
- 下面兩句意思不同:
-
- It seems as if it might rain.
- 看樣子像要下雨似的。
- It seems as if it is going to rain.
- 看來快要下雨了。
- appear,look,seem
-
- 這些動詞均有“看起來,好像是”之意。
- appear指從感觀印象看似乎是如此,但有時著重指因視野、觀點限制而產生的歪曲印象。
- look指從樣子看起來,側重通過視覺而建立的印象。
- seem多指從主觀印象或個反應得出的看法。
常見錯誤
-
天好像要下雨。
誤 It seems as rain.
正 It seems like rain.
析 seem后面接like,表示“好像”,不可接as。
“看來我們要趕不上火車了?!薄拔铱词勤s不上了?!?誤 “It seems we'll miss the train.”“So it seems not.”
正 “It seems we'll miss the train.”“So it seems.”
“看來她不會加入我們了?!薄翱磥硎侨绱??!?誤 “It seems she will not join us.”“It seems.”
正 “It seems she will not join us.”“It seems not.”
析 在對話中,使用替代詞,可用“So it seems”或“It seems not”,不可用“So it seems not”“It seems”形式。
好像要起風了。誤 It was seeming to get windy.
正 It seemed to be getting windy.
析 seem不可用于進行體。
她看來像是出了什么事似的。誤 There seems to have something the matter with her.
正 There seems to be something the matter with her.
析 動詞seem可以用于there seems句型,表示“似乎有…”, seem后接to be,不能用實義動詞have。
正在講話的那個人好像是這家公司的經理。誤 The man who was speaking seemed the manager of this company.
正 The man who was speaking seemed to be the manager of this company.
析 seem后用作表語的名詞如無形容詞修飾,名詞前須加to be。
