商务英语一对一em用法总结
em可用作连系动词或不及物动词，意为“似乎；好像”，其常见用法现归纳如下：
一、“主语+ em +（to be ）+表语”，表语多为名词或形容词，有时是其他的词或短语，以说明主语的特征或状态。例如：
Tom ems （to be ） a very clever boy. 汤姆看上去是一个非常聪明的男孩。
The man over there ems to be a new teacher. 那边的那个人看上去像一个新老师。
Mr Black emed to be quite happy. 布莱克先生好像十分快乐。
This small town ems changed a little. 这个小城镇似乎有点儿变化。
二、“主语+ em + 不定式”，此句型中的em与不定式一起构成复合谓语。例如：
sunny side up Mrs Green doesn’t em （或ems not ） to like the idea. 格林夫人似乎不太喜欢这个主意。
The children emed to be eating something in the room. 孩子们好像正在房间里吃东西呢。
The young man emed to have changed much. 这个年轻人看起来变化很大。
三、“It ems + that从句”，其中it 是形式主语，that引导主语从句。例如：
It ems that no one knows what has happened in the park. 似乎没有人知道在公园里发生了什么事。
It ems to me that Mr Brown will not come again. 在我看来布朗先生不会再来了。
clo怎么读 四、“There + em to be +名词”，其中to be 可省略。em 的单复数形式要根据后面作主语的名词的单复数形式而定。例如：
There doesn’t em to be much hope of our beating that team. 看来我们战胜那个队没有多大希望。
There ems no need to wait longer. 看来没有再等的必要了。

一．em常常和不定式，形容词，分词，名词和介词短语搭配。如:

a)I emed to hear a voice in the distance .
b)Your advice ems to be doing me a favor .
c)I em to have caught a cold .
注意：1em后跟不定式（短语）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。
2em后不定式的否定式习惯上用 don’t 来代替，（放在em 前），如：
reader是什么意思You don’t em to be quite yourlf today ( =You em not be quite yourlf today )
2.em +形容词
a) She ems quite happy today.
b) The enemy ems powerful but in fact it is weak.
[注]此句式出可看作是em+to be+adj句式的一种简化形式。
如例a可转换为：
She ems to be quite happy today.
例b可转换为：
The enemy ems to be powerful but in fact it is weak.
但目前由于英语的发展，em+to be+形容词结构的用法已越来越少，em+adj的结构已趋成型，属口语语体。
3．Seem+分词
a) The situation emed quite encouraging.
b) The news ems exciting.
c) They ems interested in the film.
[注]em后用现在分词还是过去分词取决于分词本身的逻辑主语，如句中的主语（盍作的执行者）是分词的逻辑主语，用现在分词，反之用过去分词。
4、em+名词
a) She ems a clever girl.
b) Her mother ems a teacher.
c) It emed a long time before my turn came.
5.em+介词短语
They emed in high spirits.
二、em常用于it作形式主语的“It ems/emed that……”结构，如：
a) It ems that you were lying.
modify
b) It emed that he had been a scientist.
c) It ems impossible that he will be here tomorrow.
[注]1）在这一句式中，常省去that，如例a可改为：
It ems you were lying.
2)间或在em后可跟一形容词，如例c.
三、em常用于由as if/though引导的从句中，如：
a) It ems as if it is going to rain.
b) It ems as though our plan’ll be perfect.
c) It ems as if he knew nothing about that.
d) It ems as if it was/were spring already.
[注]在这种句式中，如从句所叙述的情实现的可能性比较大，从句谓语用陈述语气
，如a,b两例；若实现的可能性较小，或根本不可能实现，从句的谓语则用虚拟语气，如c,d 两例。
四、em通常用在“It ems(emed)to sb(that)……”的结构中，这种结构常用来表示“行为”的主体，例：
a) It ems to us a good chance.wina
b) It ems to the emperor that the people were right.
c) It ems to me eveyythingis all right.
五、ems也常用在“there em(s) to be”句式中，用来代替be，作句子的谓语。如：
a) There ems to be no point in refusing.
b) There emed to be something the matter with him.
c) There doesn’t em to be too much hope of our team beating theirs.

[注]1）在这一结构中，em表示“似乎有”、“看来”的意思，如：
There em to be a lot of things to do .(=It ems as if there were a lot of things to do.)
2)There em(s) to be +n”这个结构的否定形式为“There em(s) to be +no+n.”（如例a）或（“There doesn’t em to be +n.”（如例c）.
六、em有时也同人称代词I连用，意为“感到好像、觉得似乎”等意，如：
a)I em unable to solve it right now.看来我无法立刻解决它。
b)I em to have en him somewhere before.我好像以前在什么地方见过他。
七、em还常常同like搭配。如：
[注]这种句式表达的意思同“em+to be +n.”结构表达的意思基本相同，故两种句式可替换，如：
什么是内审员
The girl ems like a bird/to be a bird.
