seem用法总结
seem可用作连系动词或不及物动词,意为“似乎;好像”,其常见用法现归纳如下:
一、“主语+
seem
+(to
be
)+表语”,表语多为名词或形容词,有时是其他的词或短语,以说明主语的特征或状态。例如:
Tom
seems
(to
be
)
a
very
clever
boy.
汤姆看上去是一个非常聪明的男孩。
The
man
over
there
seems
to
be
a
new
teacher.
那边的那个人看上去像一个新老师。
Mr
Black
seemed
to
be
quite
happy.
布莱克先生好像十分快乐。
This
small
town
seems
changed
a
little.
这个小城镇似乎有点儿变化。
二、“主语+
seem
+
不定式”,此句型中的seem与不定式一起构成复合谓语。例如:
Mrs
Green
doesn’t
seem
(或seems
not
)
to
like
the
idea.
格林夫人似乎不太喜欢这个主意。
The
children
seemed
to
be
eating
something
in
the
room.
孩子们好像正在房间里吃东西呢。
The
young
man
seemed
to
have
changed
much.
这个年轻人看起来变化很大。
三、“It
seems
+
that从句”,其中it
是形式主语,that引导主语从句。例如:
It
seems
that
no
one
knows
what
has
happened
in
the
park.
似乎没有人知道在公园里发生了什么事。
It
seems
to
me
that
Mr
Brown
will
not
come
again.
在我看来布朗先生不会再来了。
四、“There
+
seem
to
be
+名词”,其中to
be
可省略。seem
的单复数形式要根据后面作主语的名词的单复数形式而定。例如:
There
doesn’t
seem
to
be
much
hope
of
our
beating
that
team.
看来我们战胜那个队没有多大希望。
There
seems
no
need
to
wait
longer.
看来没有再等的必要了。
一.seem常常和不定式,形容词,分词,名词和介词短语搭配。如:
1.seem+不定式(短语)
a)I
seemed
to
hear
a
voice
in
the
distance
.
b)Your
advice
seems
to
be
doing
me
a
favor
.
c)I
seem
to
have
caught
a
cold
.
注意:1seem后跟不定式(短语)时,要注意不定式所表示动作发生的时间,以此来确定不定式的时态。
2seem后不定式的否定式习惯上用
don’t
来代替,(放在seem
前),如:
You
don’t
seem
to
be
quite
yourself
today
(
=You
seem
not
be
quite
yourself
today
)
2.seem
+形容词
a)
She
seems
quite
happy
today.
b)
The
enemy
seems
powerful
but
in
fact
it
is
weak.
[注]此句式出可看作是seem+to
be+adj句式的一种简化形式。
如例a可转换为:
She
seems
to
be
quite
happy
today.
例b可转换为:
The
enemy
seems
to
be
powerful
but
in
fact
it
is
weak.
但目前由于英语的发展,seem+to
be+形容词结构的用法已越来越少,seem+adj的结构已趋成型,属口语语体。
3.Seem+分词
a)
The
situation
seemed
quite
encouraging.
b)
The
news
seems
exciting.
c)
They
seems
interested
in
the
film.
[注]seem后用现在分词还是过去分词取决于分词本身的逻辑主语,如句中的主语(盍作的执行者)是分词的逻辑主语,用现在分词,反之用过去分词。
4、seem+名词
a)
She
seems
a
clever
girl.
b)
Her
mother
seems
a
teacher.
c)
It
seemed
a
long
time
before
my
turn
came.
5.seem+介词短语
They
seemed
in
high
spirits.
二、seem常用于it作形式主语的“It
seems/seemed
that……”结构,如:
a)
It
seems
that
you
were
lying.
b)
It
seemed
that
he
had
been
a
scientist.
c)
It
seems
impossible
that
he
will
be
here
tomorrow.
[注]1)在这一句式中,常省去that,如例a可改为:
It
seems
you
were
lying.
2)间或在seem后可跟一形容词,如例c.
三、seem常用于由as
if/though引导的从句中,如:
a)
It
seems
as
if
it
is
going
to
rain.
b)
It
seems
as
though
our
plan’ll
be
perfect.
c)
It
seems
as
if
he
knew
nothing
about
that.
d)
It
seems
as
if
it
was/were
spring
already.
[注]在这种句式中,如从句所叙述的情实现的可能性比较大,从句谓语用陈述语气
,如a,b两例;若实现的可能性较小,或根本不可能实现,从句的谓语则用虚拟语气,如c,d
两例。
四、seem通常用在“It
seems(seemed)to
sb(that)……”的结构中,这种结构常用来表示“行为”的主体,例:
a)
It
seems
to
us
a
good
chance.
b)
It
seems
to
the
emperor
that
the
people
were
right.
c)
It
seems
to
me
eveyythingis
all
right.
五、seems也常用在“there
seem(s)
to
be”句式中,用来代替be,作句子的谓语。如:
a)
There
seems
to
be
no
point
in
refusing.
b)
There
seemed
to
be
something
the
matter
with
him.
c)
There
doesn’t
seem
to
be
too
much
hope
of
our
team
beating
theirs.
[注]1)在这一结构中,seem表示“似乎有”、“看来”的意思,如:
There
seem
to
be
a
lot
of
things
to
do
.(=It
seems
as
if
there
were
a
lot
of
things
to
do.)
2)There
seem(s)
to
be
+n”这个结构的否定形式为“There
seem(s)
to
be
+no+n.”(如例a)或(“There
doesn’t
seem
to
be
+n.”(如例c).
六、seem有时也同人称代词I连用,意为“感到好像、觉得似乎”等意,如:
a)I
seem
unable
to
solve
it
right
now.看来我无法立刻解决它。
b)I
seem
to
have
seen
him
somewhere
before.我好像以前在什么地方见过他。
七、seem还常常同like搭配。如:
[注]这种句式表达的意思同“seem+to
be
+n.”结构表达的意思基本相同,故两种句式可替换,如:
The
girl
seems
like
a
bird/to
be
a
bird.
