1、Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd: a little bit more.-author-dateseem用法总结seem用法小结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
2、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 doesnt 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 eat
3、ing 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
4、 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 doesnt 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:1seem+不定式(短语)a)I seemed to hear a voice in the distance .b)Your advice seems to be doing
5、 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 dont 来代替,(放在seem 前),如:You dont 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
6、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。3Seem+分词a) The situation seemed quite encouraging.b) The news seems exciting.c) They seems interes
7、ted 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 we
8、re 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 planll be perfect.c) It seems a
9、s 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 wer
10、e 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 doesnt 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
11、 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 doesnt 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.-
