句型"It seems，" 和"It appears that，"有何异同

句型"It seems，" 和"It appears that，"有何异同

1. 相同点
这两个词都可表示“看起来像”、“似乎”，其后均可接形容词、名词、不定式等，且有时可互换。如：
She seems (appears) (to be) honest. 她似乎很诚实。
He seems (appears) (to be) an honest man. 他看起来像个诚实人。
2. 不同点
(1) 含义上的不同：appear强调外表给人的印象，有时含有一种并不符合实际的感觉;seem常指有一定根据的内心判断，这种判断往往与实际情况比较接近。试比较：
He seems very young. 他看起来很年轻。
He may appear a fool but actually he’s quite clever. 他看起来也许很傻，但实际上他很聪明。
(2) 结构上的差别：
1) seem之后可接like，而appear之后不能接。如;
He seems like a fool. 他看上去像个傻瓜。
2)两者均可用于以it开头的句子。但要注意：appear 之后接that引导的从句，而seem之后可接that也可接as if / as though 引导的从句。如：
It seems as if you’re right. 看来你似乎是对的。
It seems that he is ill. 他好像是有病。
It appears that I am wrong. 看来是我错了。
注：appear 之后有时也可接as if。如：
It appears as if they’ve lost interest 看来他们已失去了兴趣。
