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+(tobe)+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:Tomseems(tobe)averycleverboy.汤姆看上去是一个非常聪明的男孩。Themanoverthereseemstobeanewteacher.那边的那个人看上去像一个新老师。MrBlackseemedtobequitehappy.布莱克先生好像十分快乐。Thissmalltownseemschangedalittle.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:MrsGreendoesn’tseem(或seemsnot)toliketheidea.格林夫人似乎不太喜欢这个主意。Thechildrenseemedtobeeatingsomethingintheroom.孩子们好像正在房间里吃东西呢。Theyoungmanseemedtohavechangedmuch.这个年轻人看起来变化很大。三、“Itseems+that从句”,其中it是形式主语,that引导主语从句。例如:Itseemsthatnooneknowswhathashappenedinthepark.似乎没有人知道在公园里发生了什么事。ItseemstomethatMrBrownwillnotcomeagain.在我看来布朗先生不会再来了。四、“There+seemtobe+名词”,其中tobe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:Theredoesn’tseemtobemuchhopeofourbeatingthatteam.看来我们战胜那个队没有多大希望。Thereseemsnoneedtowaitlonger.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)Iseemedtohearavoiceinthedistance.b)Youradviceseemstobedoingmeafavor.c)Iseemtohavecaughtacold.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:Youdon’tseemtobequiteyourselftoday(=Youseemnotbequiteyourselftoday)2.seem+形容词a)Sheseemsquitehappytoday.b)Theenemyseemspowerfulbutinfactitisweak.[注]此句式出可看作是seem+tobe+adj句式的一种简化形式。如例a可转换为:Sheseemstobequitehappytoday.例b可转换为:Theenemyseemstobepowerfulbutinfactitisweak.但目前由于英语的发展,seem+tobe+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)Thesituationseemedquiteencouraging.b)Thenewsseemsexciting.c)Theyseemsinterestedinthefilm.[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)Sheseemsaclevergirl.b)Hermotherseemsateacher.c)Itseemedalongtimebeforemyturncame.5.seem+介词短语Theyseemedinhighspirits.二、seem常用于it作形式主语的“Itseems/seemedthat……”结构,如:a)Itseemsthatyouwerelying.b)Itseemedthathehadbeenascientist.c)Itseemsimpossiblethathewillbeheretomorrow.[注]1)在这一句式中,常省去that,如例a可改为:Itseemsyouwerelying.2)间或在seem后可跟一形容词,如例c.三、seem常用于由asif/though引导的从句中,如:a)Itseemsasifitisgoingtorain.b)Itseemsasthoughourplan’llbeperfect.c)Itseemsasifheknewnothingaboutthat.d)Itseemsasifitwas/werespringalready.[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“Itseems(seemed)tosb(that)……”的结构中,这种结构常用来表示“行为”的主体,例:a)Itseemstousagoodchance.b)Itseemstotheemperorthatthepeoplewereright.c)Itseemstomeeveyythingisallright.五、seems也常用在“thereseem(s)tobe”句式中,用来代替be,作句子的谓语。如:a)Thereseemstobenopointinrefusing.b)Thereseemedtobesomethingthematterwithhim.c)Theredoesn’tseemtobetoomuchhopeofourteambeatingtheirs.[注]1)在这一结构中,seem表示“似乎有”、“看来”的意思,如:Thereseemtobealotofthingstodo.(=Itseemsasiftherewerealotofthingstodo.)2)Thereseem(s)tobe+n”这个结构的否定形式为“Thereseem(s)tobe+no+n.”(如例a)或(“Theredoesn’tseemtobe+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)Iseemunabletosolveitrightnow.看来我无法立刻解决它。b)Iseemtohaveseenhimsomewherebefore.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+tobe+n.”结构表达的意思基本相同,故两种句式可替换,如:Thegirlseemslikeabird/tobeabird.
