appear, look, seem

这三个词都可用作系动词,表示“看起来”。其区别是：

1.在含义上, appear 强调外表上给人的某种印象,有时含实质上并非如此的意思; look意味着看上去如此,实际亦是如此; seem 则暗示判断有一定根据,这种判断往往接近事实。例如:

He appears to be very young.

他看上去很年轻。(实际上不一定如此)

He looks to be very young.

他看上去很年轻。(实际上也年轻)

He seems to be very young.

他看上去很年轻。(可能他的确很年轻)

2.在用法上,这三个词都可跟形容词或“to be+形容词或名词”结构,也可用于It appears〔appeared〕/looks〔looked〕/seems〔seemed〕 as if...结构。但是, appear 和seem跟to- v 时仍表示“看起来”,而look 接to- v 则是“盼望”的意思。例如:

He appears〔seems〕 to know it.

他看来知道这件事。

He looks to hear from you.

他期待你来信。

另外, appear 和seem可用于It appears〔appeared〕/seems〔seemed〕 that...结构,而look不能。例如:

我看他似乎很喜欢看这部小说。

［误］ It looks to me that he enjoys read- ing the novel.

［正］ It appears〔seems〕 to me that he enjoys reading the novel.

还有, appear 和seem一般不用于进行体; 而look可用现在进行时,这和一般现在时所表示的意思无多大区别。例如:

You are looking〔look〕 very unhappy.你看起来很不高兴。

appear, emerge, loom

这三个词的共同意思是“出现”,其区别是：

appear强调的是公开露面; emerge指从某个掩蔽处出现或摆脱遮挡物而被看见,强调“缓缓出现”; loom则强调眼前出现的物体好像从云雾中发出,无明显轮廓,即“朦胧出现”。

appear，emerge，show，loom

这些动词均有“出现”之意。

appear强调公开露面，被看见。

emerge侧重缓缓出现的过程。

show语气较强，强调“露出来”。

loom指朦胧出现，好像从雾中浮现出来一样。

appear，look，seem

这些动词均有“看起来，好像是”之意。

appear指从感观印象看似乎是如此，但有时着重指因视野、观点限制而产生的歪曲印象。

look指从样子看起来，侧重通过视觉而建立的印象。

seem多指从主观印象或个反应得出的看法。
