seem用法总结.doc

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
