Ⅱ.重點(diǎn)句型詳解

1.It seemed as if the world was at an end! 世界似乎到了末日!

It seems (to sb.) that... (對某人來說)似乎……=Sb. seems to do/to be doing/to have done...

It seems as if/though... “似乎(好像)……”,可接虛擬語氣。

seem+(to be)+n./adj. 似乎是……

There seems to be... 好像有……

It seems so. (=So it seems.) 似乎是那樣。

①It seemed that he had known the truth.=He seemed to have known the truth. 他好像知道了真相。

②His father seems (to be) strict.他父親似乎很嚴(yán)厲。

③There seemed to be a voice in the distance.似乎遠(yuǎn)處有人說話。

④It always seemed as though everything in my childhood had just happened.我童年的一切仿佛剛剛發(fā)生一樣。

辨析:seem/look/appear

(1)seem 暗含有一定的根據(jù),往往是接近實(shí)際的判斷,后可接介詞、形容詞、不定式或從句。

(2)look 著重由視覺而得出的印象,可與 like連用,但不能與不定式連用。可接 as if從句,不接 that從句。

(3)appear 強(qiáng)調(diào)外表給人的印象,而且事實(shí)往往并非如此??山?that從句,不接 as if從句。

[即境活用1]—What a noise! I can hardly stand it.

A.looks  B.seems? C.a(chǎn)ppears D.happens

答案:B

2.In the farmyards, the chickens and even the pigs were too nervous to eat. 在農(nóng)家院子里,雞和豬都煩躁不安,以致不吃食。

too...to... 句型表示“太……以至于不能……(表否定)”,可轉(zhuǎn)化為 not...enough to...和 so...that...。

The child is too young to dress himself.

=The child is not old enough to dress himself.

=The child is so young that he can't dress himself.這孩子太小,不能夠自己穿衣。

提示:(1)當(dāng) too后接 easy, ready, happy, willing, eager 或 anxious時(shí),to 后的動詞表示肯定。例如:

The book is too easy to understand.這本書太容易理解了。

He was too anxious to leave.他急于離開。

(2)too...not to... 句式表示肯定意思。例如:

He is too careful not to have noticed it.他那么細(xì)心,不會不注意到這一點(diǎn)的。

(3)too...to...中 too前面用了否定詞(如 never)時(shí),表示肯定。例如:

It is never too late to mend.改過不嫌晚。

(4)only too...to...表示肯定,其中 too后的形容詞多數(shù)是表示某種心情的,如 glad, pleased, willing, thankful, delighted, determined 等,也有描繪性的形容詞,如 good, kind, true等。例如:

The girl is only too kind to help us.這姑娘非常樂于幫助我們。

[即境活用2] Jim is a kind boy. He is ______willing to help his classmates.

A.so B.such? C.much D.too

解析:too+glad/pleased/willing...to...表示肯定意義。如用A項(xiàng)應(yīng)改為 so...as to才對。

答案:D
