it seems,和 it appears that,是常用句型,兩者在意義上和用法上都一樣..表示"好象是,"的意思,用來(lái)表示不確定.seem 和appear 后面可以接to sb,表示"對(duì)某人來(lái)說(shuō)好象是,".
appear 和 seem 都表示"看起來(lái),","好象,"
前者強(qiáng)調(diào)表面上給人某種印象,含有實(shí)質(zhì)上并非如此的意思,而seem則表示判斷有一定的根據(jù),較接近事實(shí).
看兩個(gè)例句:
It seemed that he hadn't received my parcel(他好象沒(méi)有受到我的包裹)
it seemed that he failed to get my point(他好象沒(méi)聽(tīng)懂我的意思)
It appears that we are going to have a bad weather tomorrow(我們明天好象要遇到壞天氣)
it appears that most of our friends have known it
(好象我們的大多數(shù)朋友已經(jīng)知道此事啦)
前兩句是根據(jù)自己的判斷而直接得出的結(jié)論.
后兩句是憑現(xiàn)象而推測(cè)出來(lái)的結(jié)論.
注意二者細(xì)微的區(qū)別.
