linking verb

 (not used in the progressive tenses 不用于进行时) to give the impression of being or doing sth 好像；似乎；看来◆Do whatever seems best to you.你觉得什么最好，就做什么。◆He seems a nice man.他看来是个好人。◆It seemed like a good idea at the time.当时这个主意好像不错。◆It always seemed as though they would get married.他们总是好像要结婚似的。◆They seem to know what they're doing.他们似乎知道自己在做什么。◆'He'll be there, then?' 'So it seems (= people say so).'“这么说，他要去那儿了？”“好像是这样。”ⓘ Seem is often used to make what you say about your thoughts, feelings or actions less forceful or to suggest that sth is true when you are not certain or when you want to be polite. * seem常用于弱化所描述的想法、感觉或行为，也用于说某事属实但没有把握或为了显示礼貌的情况◆I seem to have left my book at home.我大概是把书忘在家里了。◆I can't seem to (= I've tried, but I can't) get started today.看来今天我是不能开始了。◆It seems only reasonable to ask students to buy a dictionary.让学生买本词典好像是合乎情理的。◆ (rather formal) It would seem that we all agree.我们大家似乎都同意。   see also seeming ⇨ apparent ■ look

linking verb

 (not usually used in the progressive tenses 通常不用于进行时) to seem, especially from what people can see; to have a similar appearance to sb/sth; to have an appearance that suggests that sth is true or will happen; to seem likely 看起来像；显得；（外表）像；好像；仿佛◆You look tired.你显得很疲倦。◆That photograph doesn't look like her at all.那张照片看上去一点也不像她。◆It looks like rain (= it looks as if it's going to rain).好像要下雨了。◆ (especially BrE) That looks an interesting book.那好像是本有趣的书。ⓘ In American English it is more usual to use look like with a noun phrase. 在美式英语中更常用look like后接名词短语◆ (NAmE, BrE) That looks like an interesting book.那好像是本有趣的书。 ⓘ In spoken English people often use like instead of as if or as though, especially in American English. 在口语中，常用like代替as if 或as though，特别是在美式英语中◆You look as though you slept badly.你好像没睡好觉。◆It doesn't look as if we'll be moving after all.看样子我们终归还是不搬了。 (spoken, especially NAmE) ◆You look like you slept badly.你好像没睡好觉。◆It doesn't look like we'll be moving after all.看样子我们终归还是不搬了。This is considered incorrect in written British English. 在英式书面语中，这种用法被视为不正确。 ⓘ Unlike seem, look can sometimes be used in the progressive tenses, if you are talking about how sb/sth looked at a particular time, especially if this is different from how they usually look. 与seem不同的是，look有时可用于进行时，指某人或某事物在特定时间的样子，特别是跟平常不一样时◆I thought she was looking rather tired last night.我觉得她昨晚显得特别疲倦。   see also look ⇨ appearance ■ appear
