appear seem look的用法区别

appear, look, seem的用法及区别一、含义上的差异appear 是指根据事物的外表表象做出判断的，但实质上并不一定如此；seem是表示说话人主观上的判断，暗含有一定的根据，往往接近事实的判断；look是根据视觉印象而得出的判断，实质上也可能如此。例如： She is fifty but she appears young . 她五十岁了，但看起来很年轻。(其实并非如此) Se seems young . (I think he is rich .) 她看起来很年轻。(根据个人的主观判断而推断出) She looks young . 她很年轻。(从他外表可出感觉出) 二、用法上的差异 1. appear，look，seem 后均可带名词、形容语、to be 结构。 The man who came yesterday appeared / seemed / looked an hounest man . 昨天来的那个人看来是一个诚实的人。 My brother appeared (to be) happy when he heard from sister . 当我弟弟收到我妹妹来信时，似乎很高兴。 2. look 可用于进行时，而 seem , appear 一般不能。如： He is looking very happy. 他现在看起来很高兴。 3. appear 和 seem 之后可接动词不定式的一般式、完成式以及其他形式，而 look 之后除了能接to be 结构外，不接其它动词不定式形式。 She appeared to agree with you. 他好象同意你的意见。 They dont seem to have read this novel. 他们好象没有读过这本小说。 4. look , seem 能与介词 like 构成习语，意思是“看上去象”，而 appear 却不能。例如： It seems like years since I last saw you . 自从上次见到你后，好象很久没有见到你了。 He looks like a farm.他看起来象个农民。 5. seem , look 后均可接 as if , as though 引导的表语从句，从句中既可用陈述语气也可用虚拟语气，而 appear 则不能。例如： It seemed / looked as if he had been to Beijing. 看起来他去过北京。 6. appear 和seem 均可接 that 引导的从句，而 look 不能。 It seems / appears that we wont finish this work today. 我们好象今天完不成这项工作。 7. appear 和 seem 可用于there be 结构中，而 look 不能。如： There appears to have been an accident . 好象出了一次事故。一、使用seem和appear的句型： 1It seems appears（to sb） that-clause It seems appears to me that they are right我觉得他们似乎是正确的。 It seemed appeared that he enjoyed the food very much看来他好像很喜欢吃这种食品。 2SbSthseems appears to do He seems appears to be a musician他似乎是一个音乐家。 She seemed appeared to have caught a cold她好像感冒了。 （上述两种句型含义基本一样，都可作“看来似乎是”，二者可相互转换） He seems appears to have known about the secret（It seems appears that he has known about the secret）他似乎已知道这个秘密。 3There seems appears to be There seems to be no difficulties to be discussed看来没有什么难题要讨论。 There appears to have been a mistake好像有错误。 二、使用look和seem的句型： 1It looks seems as if表示“看起来；似乎”。使用该句型应注意的是：若从句表示的是很可能实现的事情，从句谓语用陈述语气；若从句表示的是与事实相反的假设或实现的可能性很小的事情时，则从句谓语要用虚拟语气 It seems as if he has been at the scene of the crime似乎他好像在犯罪现场。 When a pencil is partly in a glass of water，it looks as if it were broken如果把一枝铅笔的一部分放入水杯中，它看上去似乎是断了。 2SbSthlooks seems like The building looks like a school这建筑物看起来像所学校。 It seems like years since I last saw you自从我上次见到你好像有几年了。 三、seem，appear和look的区别 seem，appear和look虽都有“看起来像”的意思，但三者仍有差别。 seem常含有基本接近事实的意义；appear多指从外表判断，一般与事实不符；look则着重指从外表而得到的印象，所得出的判断有可能与事实相符，也有可能与事实不符。一、基本区别look 指视觉印象，appear 指外表给人的印象，这两者可能是真象也可能是假象，appear的不确定性更大一些，seem 侧重指根据某种迹象作出的推断，也不一定是事实。二、后接不定式的问题三者均可后接不定式，但 look 之后一般只限于 to be(且较少见)：He seems appears, looks to be very tired. 他好像很累了。He seems appears to have traveled a lot. 他似乎去过不少地方。This seems to be a happy solution. 这似乎是一个理想的解决办法。但是不说He looks to have traveled a lot.三、后接like的问题look, seem 之后可接介词 like，但 appear 之后一般不能：He just looks like his brother. 他的模样就像他的哥哥。He seems like a fool. 他看起来像个傻瓜。四、用于进行时态的问题appear 和seem不用于进行时态，但look有时可这样用(尽管较少见)：He looks is looking well. 他看上去气色不错。但是不说He is seeming appearing well.五、用于it开头的句子三者均可用于 it 开头的句子，且三者之后均可接以 as if 或 as though 引导的从句，另外 appear 和 seem 之后还可接 that 引导的从句：It looks seems, appears as if he has lost interest in his job. 看来他对自己的工作已
