想用英语表达“看起来……”,却不知道如何表达?就让我们优朗大学英语培训的李老师来告诉大家吧。It seems/seemed that/as if...的意思是“看起来……”,当要表示“表面上看起来好像……” 的时候就可以用“It seems/seemed that/as if...”这个句型。
句型解析:
1.表示猜测或判断的句型
在“It seems/seemed + that从句”这个句型中,seem表示“看起来”,后面接的是that引导的从句。这是一个表示猜测或判断的句型,意思是“看起来……;似乎是……;好像……”。
例句:
It seemed that he was a bit angry.
看起来他好像有点生气了。
2.表示在某人看来如何的句型
如果要表示“在某人看来,似乎是……”,则要在seem后加上to sb.,即:It seems/seemed to sb. that...。
例句:
It seems to me that you are always lying.
在我看来,你一直在撒谎。
3.另外一个表示在(某人)看来、好像怎么样的句型
另外,再告诉大家一个非常相似的句型:It appears/appeared (to sb.) that 从句。这个句型也表示“在(某人)看来,好像……”的意思。
例句:
It appears that she likes sweet food very much.
看来她好像很喜欢吃甜食。
4.可以用陈述或是虚拟语气来表示所设想的事情的句型。
在“It seems/seemed as if从句”这个句型中,seem后面接as if引导的从句,当表示真实情况时,用陈述语气;否则就用虚拟语气。
例句:
It seemed as if I couldn't think of a right word.
当时,我似乎想不出一个恰当的字眼来。
情景会话:
He went out without saying a word.
It seemed that he was a bit angry.
他没有说话就出去了。

在我看来,你一直在撒谎。
哦!不。我想你误会我了。
