seem,appear,look三个词都可以表示“看起来…”,但具体用时又不能完全相互替代,这时我们就需要了解三者之间的区别。

回顾一下

seem

v. (涉及推断)似乎,看来;(用于表示谨慎、礼貌或委婉)好像,可能

appear

v. 出现,呈现;首次使用,起源;出庭;演出,出场;出版,发表;记载,提及;看来

look

v. 看;故意不理睬(某人),装作没有看见(某人);注意;与……外表相似;看起来像(look like)

区别

1.含义上的区别

Seem:

根据一定的事实判断,往往接近事实;

We seem destined never to meet.

我们看起来像是命中注定无缘相见。

appear:

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;

She will appear in court tomorrow.

她明天出庭。

look:

根据视觉印象而得出的判断,实质上也可能如此。

You look lovely, Marcia.

你看起来很美,马西娅。

2.用法上的区别

①.look 可用于进行时,而seem,appear 一般不能。

形势看来很不错!

②.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。

③.look,seem 能与like连接,译为“看上去像”,appear 不能。

④.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,appear 则不能。

“我们不能让它觉得我们离他太近了。”狄肯说。
