appears
基本解釋
- vi.出現(xiàn)；出版；顯得；好像；登場
詞源解說
- 13世紀中期進入英語，直接源自古法語的aparoir，意為顯現(xiàn)；最初源自拉丁語的apparere：ad （去） + perere (看得見的）。
用法辨析
- appear的基本含義有二：一是“出現(xiàn)”“到達”,指出席或在公共場所露面,也指可以看見或變得清晰起來,較少意味著具有確切地具體的背景或出處。引申為“出演”“出版”“面世”。appear作此解時,是不及物動詞,其后常有時間、地點等狀語。appear的另一個意思是“似乎”“顯得”“看起來好像”,含有因視覺誤差、觀點限制或他人掩飾而得到的印象與事實并不一定相符的味道。appear作此解時,主要用作系動詞,也可用作不及物動詞。
- appear用作系動詞,接“to be+ n./adj. ” 或者介詞短語、動詞不定式或as if/though引導的從句, to be可以省略。當形容詞是表語形容詞時, to be不可省略。
- appear用作系動詞的句子中可插入to sb,在強調(diào)時可移至句首。
- 在以動詞不定式或that從句作主語時,一般須以it作形式主語,置于句首,而將該動詞不定式或that從句置于appear之后。
- appear可用于存在句型(There ～s/ ～ed ),相當于不及物動詞be。
- appear作為表示狀態(tài)的動詞,通常不用于進行體,而須用于一般時態(tài)。
- appear是表示感覺的系動詞,可用于轉移否定結構,即句中的否定雖然出現(xiàn)在主句的謂語部分,但否定范圍卻不在主句謂語動詞本身,而是轉移到句子末端的賓語、狀語或其他成分上。
- appear為不及物動詞，I have read the article on Japanese economy appeared in yesterday's paper. 應在appeared前加that/which，否則表述不正確。
v. (動詞)
