参考词汇seem 和 appear;都含有“看起来似...”的意思。1.■appear 强调外表上给人某种印象, 有时含有实质上并非如此的意思。例如:He appears to know more than he really does.他看起来好象懂得很多, 其实懂得没有那么多。2.■seem表示有一定根据的判断, 这种判断往往接近事实。 例如:The problem seems very complicated.问题仿佛很复杂。His health seems to have grown better.他的健康似乎有所好转。He seems to be sick, for he appears pale.看样子他病了, 因为他面色看起来很苍白。
