appear用法归纳

 

1. appear不用于被动语态

是不及物动词,因此不能有宾语,也不能用于被动语态:

正:Soon the stars appeared in the sky. 不久天空中出现了 星星。

误:Soon the stars were appeared in the sky.

误:Soon the sky appeared the stars.

2. appear, seem, look的区别

(1) 三者均为连系动词,均可后接形容词、名词、不定式作表语:

他似乎是一个诚实的人。

正:He looks [seems, appears] honest.

正:He looks [seems, appears] an honest man.

正:He looks [seems, appears] to be honest.

正:He looks [seems, appears] to be an honest man.

(2) look, seem 之后可以接介词 like, appear 之后不能:

He looks [seems] like a fool. 他看起来像个大傻瓜。

(3) 三者均可后接不定式,但 look 之后一般只限于 to be

正:He seems [appears, looks] to be tired. 他好像很累了。

正:He seems [appears] to laugh at us. 他好像在笑我们。

误:He looked to laugh at us. (from www.yywords.com)

(4) 三者均可用于 it 开头的句子,但look 之后通常接 as if (as though)引导的从句,appear之后通常接that引导的从句,seem 之后则可接thatas if (as though)引导的从句:

It looks [seems] as if you’re right. 好像你是对的。

It seems [appears] that he is ill. 他似乎病了。

(5) there be开头的句子里,可用seem / appear, 一般不用 look

There seems [appears] to be something the matter with her. 她好像出了什么事似的。

3. 有关派生词

appearance n. 出现(多为不可数);外表,样子(可数或不可数)

His sudden appearance surprised me. 他突然出现使我感到惊讶。

Never [Don’t] judge from [by] appearances.

Never [Don’t] judge a man by [from] his appearance. 不要以貌取人。
