詞源解說(shuō)
- 1200年進(jìn)入英語(yǔ)，直接源自古北歐語(yǔ)的soema，意為適應(yīng)。
用法辨析
- 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(guān)印象、看法作出的主觀(guān)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(jué)”時(shí)可接“to be+名詞或形容詞”、介詞短語(yǔ)、動(dòng)詞不定式、現(xiàn)在分詞、過(guò)去分詞作表語(yǔ)。在接名詞作表語(yǔ)時(shí),如名詞前有形容詞修飾, to be可以省略,如沒(méi)有形容詞修飾, to be則不可省略,在形容詞作主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)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(yǔ)as if〔though〕引導(dǎo)的從句作表語(yǔ), as if〔though〕的從句常用陳述語(yǔ)氣, that從句可用于陳述語(yǔ)氣,也可用虛擬語(yǔ)氣。此時(shí)主語(yǔ)多為非人稱(chēng)代詞it。
- 當(dāng)句子主語(yǔ)由動(dòng)詞不定式充當(dāng)時(shí)多采用以it作形式主語(yǔ)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(yǔ)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(yǔ)一致。
- 在美式英語(yǔ)中seem常用于轉(zhuǎn)移否定句型。
v. (動(dòng)詞)
