用法辨析

    v. (动词)

  • appear的基本含义有二：一是“出现”“到达”,指出席或在公共场所露面,也指可以看见或变得清晰起来,较少意味着具有确切地具体的背景或出处。引申为“出演”“出版”“面世”。appear作此解时,是不及物动词,其后常有时间、地点等状语。appear的另一个意思是“似乎”“显得”“看起来好像”,含有因视觉误差、观点限制或他人掩饰而得到的印象与事实并不一定相符的味道。appear作此解时,主要用作系动词,也可用作不及物动词。
  • appear用作系动词,接“to be+ n./adj. ” 或者介词短语、动词不定式或as if/though引导的从句, to be可以省略。当形容词是表语形容词时, to be不可省略。
  • appear用作系动词的句子中可插入to sb,在强调时可移至句首。
  • 在以动词不定式或that从句作主语时,一般须以it作形式主语,置于句首,而将该动词不定式或that从句置于appear之后。
  • appear可用于存在句型(There ～s/ ～ed ),相当于不及物动词be。
  • appear作为表示状态的动词,通常不用于进行体,而须用于一般时态。
  • appear是表示感觉的系动词,可用于转移否定结构,即句中的否定虽然出现在主句的谓语部分,但否定范围却不在主句谓语动词本身,而是转移到句子末端的宾语、状语或其他成分上。
  • appear为不及物动词，I have read the article on Japanese economy appeared in yesterday's paper. 应在appeared前加that/which，否则表述不正确。
