用法辨析

v. (動(dòng)詞)

• seem的基本意思是“好像”“似乎”,指根據(jù)某跡象按照自己的主觀印象、看法作出的主觀判斷或個(gè)人推斷,雖然有一定的根據(jù),但并不一定是事實(shí)。通常不用于進(jìn)行體。
• seem表示“感覺”時(shí)可接“to be+名詞或形容詞”、介詞短語、動(dòng)詞不定式、現(xiàn)在分詞、過去分詞作表語。在接名詞作表語時(shí),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(bǔ)足語時(shí)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(dǎo)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(shí)主語多為非人稱代詞it。
• 當(dāng)句子主語由動(dòng)詞不定式充當(dāng)時(shí)多采用以it作形式主語的結(jié)構(gòu)。
• 在含有seem的句子中,有時(shí)可插入to sb。為了強(qiáng)調(diào),有時(shí)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(dòng)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(zhuǎn)移否定句型。
