(=His temperature seems to be all right.) 他的体温似乎正常。It seems that she is thinking. (=She seems to be thinking.) 她好像在思考什么。It seems that they have been on earth thousands of years.(=They seem to have been on earth thousands of years.) 它们似乎已在地球上生存了数千年。六、“it seems/seemed to somebody that.”意为“在某人看来好像、仿佛”:It seems to him that he would never be able to work out the problem. 在他看来好像无法解决那个问题。You are mistaken, it seems to me. 在我看来你搞错了。七、 “there seems/seemed(to be).”意为“似乎有”?例如:There seems(to be) no answer to the question. 这个问题似乎没有答案?There seems(to be) a mistake in these answers. 这些答案中好像有错误?八、 “it seems as if.”意为“看起来像/仿佛”。此结构中的 it 是形式主语, as if 引导表语从句:It seems as if it is going to rain. 看起来天快要下雨了。It seemed as if they would marry in the end. 看来他们终于要结婚了。九、 seem 与 look 的区别:seem 和 look 的意思相同,但它们的着重点不同,用法有相同之处,也有一些差别? seem 指说话人内心的主观判断,而 look 则强调从所述事物外表上看得出的视觉印象。1. 两者后面都可接形容词?名词?动词不定式 to be 及介词短语:She seems/looks a nice teacher. 她看上去是个好老师。My mother seems/looks tired. 我母亲似乎很疲倦。The patient seemed/looked(to be) very ill. 那病人似乎病得很重。2. 两者后面都可接 as if 引导的表语从句,但 seem 的主语一般是 it,而 look 的主语可以是 it,也可以是其他的名词或代词:She looked as if she slept badly. 看她那样子仿佛没有睡好。下列几种情况下不能用 look 取代 seem:1. seem 后面接动词不定式 to do 时:My fa
