seem

[詞義用法]

1. seem用作系動詞表示“看來”、“似乎”時，其后可跟：

（1）形容詞：He seems terribly ill.

注：表語形容詞(如afraid， asleep， awake等)不能直接跟在seem之后，必須跟在 seem to be 之后。注意下面正誤句：

正：They seem to be asleep.

誤：They seem asleep.

（2） 分詞形容詞：But he seemed rather tired last night.

（3） 名詞：That seems quite a good idea.

（4） 不定式： I seem to remember that the last time we met I did most of the talking.

They seem to be abroad.

（5） 介詞短語：They seemed like twins.

（6） 副詞：They seem further away now.

（7） that引導(dǎo)的從句(用于帶先行詞it的結(jié)構(gòu)中)：

It seems that it’s more difficult for women to get to the top of a company.

It seems that she told a lie in order to get a job with our company.

注：此結(jié)構(gòu)可用seem后接不定式來改寫。如：

It seems that he is rich.

He seems to be rich.

（8）as if或 as though引導(dǎo)的從句：

Does it seem as if the lady knows little about wine?

He makes it seem as if this is one of the most delicious meals that he has ever enjoyed.

[拓展延伸]seem to 的否定式有兩種：don’t seem to與seem not to。后者是正式用法，但不如前者普遍。如：

She seems not to like it.

She doesn’t seem to like it.

3. seem后接that引導(dǎo)的從句時，允許否定轉(zhuǎn)移到主句中。如：

It doesn’t seem that we can get our money back.

It seems that we can’t get our money back.

[同義比較] seem， appear和look

seem 是“似乎”、“好像”之意，表示對某事物作出判斷時雖有一定的根據(jù)，但仍然有所懷疑。

look是“貌似”之意，指憑視覺作出的判斷，但含有較多真實性的意味。

appear與look一樣，也是憑視覺印象而產(chǎn)生的一種看法，不同的是，這種看法可能是與實際不相符合的。

—Yes， very much. It ______ to be exciting. (2003年廣西桂林)

A. seem B. is looking

C. seems D. will look
