常用系动词seem的用法

seem作系动词时有“似乎”或“好像”之意。seem表示对某事物做出判断时虽有一定的根据，但仍然有所怀疑，着重于说话人的主观感觉。下面是我整理的一些关于seem的用法， 希望让大家更好地认识seem这个单词，提高英语水平。

seem在 英语单词 中的用法归纳

一、seem常用于it作形式主语的结构，即It seems / seemed that..., 表示“看来……，似乎……”。

It seems that nobody knew what had happened. 似乎没人知道发生了什么事。

It seems that he was late for the train. 看来他没赶上火车。

注意：1)在这一句式中，常可省去that。

2)在seem后间或可跟形容词。

It seems impossible that he will be here tomorrow. 明天他来这儿似乎是不可能的。

二、seem可与形容词、名词、不定式( 短语 )、分词及介词短语搭配。

1.seem + 名词

That seems a good idea. 那似乎是个好主意。

She seems a clever girl. 她似乎是个聪明的女孩。

2. seem + 形容词

She seems quite happy today. 今天她似乎很高兴。

3. seem + 不定式(短语)

He seemed to have known the truth. 他似乎早已知道事情的真相。

He seems to be thinking about something. 他似乎正在考虑某事。

Something seemed to be wrong with the train. 火车好像出了故障。

注意：1)不定式是to be并以名词或形容词作表语时，to be通常可以省略。这样就变成1，2的用法。

He seems (to be) a fool. 他好像是个傻子。

She seems (to be) quite unhappy. 她看起来很不高兴。

2)seem后跟不定式时，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。如3中的to have...为不定式的完成时。

3)seem的否定式可在不定式前直接加not或借助do的相应否定形式来表达(放在seem前)。

She doesn't seem to like the idea. 她似乎不太喜欢这个想法。

They seemed not to know each other. 他们看起来好像互不认识。

4. seem + 分词

He seemed pleased at what I said. 听了我的话，他似乎很高兴。

The news seems exciting. 消息似乎很激动人心。

5. seem + 介词短语

三、 seem常用于由as if / though引导的从句中。

It seems as if somebody is calling you. 好像有人在叫你。

It seems as though he were very stupid. 看来他似乎很笨。

注意：在as if / though引起的从句中，如果说的是非真实的情况，从句谓语用虚拟语气，如上句he were very stupid。如果所述的情况实现的可能性较大，则从句的谓语常用陈述语气。

四、 seem常用在“It seems / seemed to sb. (that)...”结构中，这种结构常用来表示“行为”的主体。

It seems to me that we have been neglecting our duty. 我感觉我们对职责有所疏忽。

It seems to me that they are right. 我感觉他们是对的。

五、用于There seems / seemed + to be + n. (主语)中。

There seemed to be no work for you to do now. 看来现在没有什么工作需要你做了。

注意：1)在这一结构中，seem表示“似乎有;看来有”。如：

There seems to be a lot of things to do. (=It seems as if there were a lot of things to do.) 似乎有很多事情要做。

2)这一结构的否定形式为“There seems / seemed to be + no + n.”或“There doesn't / didn't seem to be + n.”。

There doesn't seem to have been any difficulty on this question. 在这个问题上似乎没出现什么困难。

下面是我整理的一些关于 英语单词 Seem的用法，以供大家学习参考。

英语单词Seem的用法：

Seem在英语中是一个重要而常见的词，它的基本意思是“似乎;好像;仿佛;看来”等，可作不及物动词或连系动词。seem用法较为复杂，现归纳如下：

一、“seem(to be) + adj(作表语)”,此结构中的 to be 也可省略?如果 to be 后面是 afraid, asleep, awake 等表语形容词,则 to be 不能省略:

The green leaves seemed(to be) more beautiful after the rain. 绿叶在雨后显得更美。

These girls seem(to be) very happy. 这些女孩子们似乎很高兴。

The boy seems to be afraid of the teacher. 这男孩好像怕老师。

二、“seem(to be) +n(作表语)”,此结构中的 to be 可省略,但名词前一般应有形容词修饰:

It seems(to be) the best answer. 这似乎是最好的回答。

His father seems(to be) a kind man. 他父亲看上去像个和善的人。

It seemed(to be) an interesting book. 这好像是本有趣的书。

三、“seem + 介词 like 和 in 引起的 短语 ”, seem like 表示“看上去好像”, seem in 表示“看起来处于……状态”:

Those boats seem like many ducks. 那些船看上去好像是很多鸭子。

The English-Chinese dictionary seems to me like an old friend. 这本英汉词典对我来说好像一位老朋友。

Mrs Brown seems in bad health. 布朗夫人看起来身体不好。

四? “seem to do something(动词不定式作表语)”,这种结构的否定形式是“do/does/did + not + seem + to do something”或“seem + not + to do something”,其中的动词不定式多为一般式?进行式或完成式:

Tom seems to know everything. 汤姆好像什么都知道。

They seemed not to know each other. 他们看上去好像互不认识。

It doesn’t seem to be raining now. 天看起来不像在下雨。

She seemed to be sleeping. 她好像在睡觉。

Mary seems to have said so. 玛丽好像曾经这样说过。

五、seem与代词 it 连用,构成“it seems/seemed that...”句式?该句式相当于“从句的主语 + seem + to do”:

It seems that his temperature is all right. (=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 father seemed to know the news. 我父亲好像知道这个消息。

2. 在“it seems/seemed that...”句式中:

It seemed that you were lying. 看来你在撒谎!

3. 在“there seems/seemed + 动词不定式”句式中:

There seems to be many young people at the concert. 好像有许多年青人在听音乐会。
