英语中appear, look, em的区别及用法特点
appear, look, em的用法特点
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,em 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 ems [appears, looks] to be very tired. 他好像很累了。
He ems [appears] to have traveled a lot. 他似乎去过不少地方。
This ems 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
中国姓氏起源look, em 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 ems like a fool. 他看起来像个傻瓜。

四、用于进行时态的问题
appear 和em不用于进行时态,但look有时可这样用(尽管较少见):
论人性He looks [is looking] well. 他看上去气色不错。
但是不说He is eming [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 em 之后还可接 that 引导的从句:
It looks [ems, appears] as if he has lost interest in his job. 看来他对自己的工作已失去了兴趣。

It ems [appears] that he is very tired. 他似乎很累了。
为避免重复,appear和em后接的 that 从句有时可用so, not 代之:陈焕然
苦学不辍“Is he reliable? ” “It ems [appears] so (not).”“他可靠吗?”“似乎是可靠的(不可靠)。”
