seemed
基本解釋
- vi.似乎；好像
詞源解說
- 1200年進入英語，直接源自古北歐語的soema，意為適應。
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印象、看法作出的主觀判斷或個人推斷,雖然有一定的根據(jù),但并不一定是事實。通常不用于進行體。
- seem表示“感覺”時可接“to be+名詞或形容詞”、介詞短語、動詞不定式、現(xiàn)在分詞、過去分詞作表語。在接名詞作表語時,如名詞前有形容詞修飾, to be可以省略,如沒有形容詞修飾, to be則不可省略,在形容詞作主語補足語時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as if〔though〕引導的從句作表語, as if〔though〕的從句常用陳述語氣, that從句可用于陳述語氣,也可用虛擬語氣。此時主語多為非人稱代詞it。
- 當句子主語由動詞不定式充當時多采用以it作形式主語的結構。
- 在含有seem的句子中,有時可插入to sb。為了強調,有時to sb 可移至句首。
- seem還可用于存在句中, seem的主語可為名詞、代詞或動詞不定式(多為to be), seem的形式要與其后的主語一致。
- 在美式英語中seem常用于轉移否定句型。
v. (動詞)
