解析appear 和 appearance
我們在第一單元中碰到了appear這個單詞,現就詳細講解一下這個單詞及近義詞的辨析。
appear不及物動詞,表示“出現”。也是系動詞,表示“似乎,顯得”,同義詞seem, look;反義詞disappear。例:his head soon appeared out of the window. 不一會他從窗戶里探出頭來。
he appears quite well. 他似乎很健康。
appear的用法:
1.appear用作行為動詞時,做“出現”解;作連詞用,當“似乎”、“顯得”講,與seem同義。但appear與它的表語一起表達的意義往往與事實不相符合。
例:he appeared quite healthy .他似乎很健康。(但實際上不一定健康)
he appears to be a fool.他似乎是個傻瓜。(但實際上不一定是個傻瓜)
2. appear to sb. + 從句,表示“在某人看來……”。
例:it appeared to me that he is quite well again. 我看他好像又健康了。
3.appear和seem用在否定句中,既可以否定謂語,也可以否定其后面的不定式:
例:he doesn’t appear ( seem ) to like you. / he appears ( seems ) not to like you.
他看上去不喜歡你。
辨析:appear, seem
appear 與 seem 都可以做“看起來”,“好象”解。appear強調外表上給人某種印象,有時含有實質上并非如此的意思。而seem則暗示判斷有一定根據,這種判斷往往接近事實。
例如:he appears ( to be ) quite old. 他顯得很老。(是指他顯得很老,但實際情況不一定如此。)
he seems ( to be ) quite old. 他似乎很老。(可能他的確是很老。)
appearance 當表示“出現,顯漏”時,常做不可數名詞,反義詞為disappearance;而表示“外貌,外觀,外表”時,為可數名詞,復數為appearances。
例:poisonous weeds must be uprooted as soon as they make their appearance.
毒草一出籠就必須鏟除。
don’t judge by appearances. 不要根據外表來判斷。
辨析:appearance, aspect, look
這三個詞都可表示人或物的“外表,外貌”。
appearance 含義較廣,無褒貶色彩,往往指全貌。用于人時,除指容貌外,還包括衣著打扮、身材高矮等。
例如:his wife is ordinary in her personal appearance. 他妻子相貌平凡。
aluminium gives the appearance of silver. 鋁看上去象銀。
aspect 指部分外貌。指人的外表、表情、神色時,可與look互換。
例如:the child became afraid of the angry aspect of the man. 那小孩看到那人的一臉怒相,非常害怕。
i love the bay in all its aspects, even its stormy, frightening aspect in winter.
我愛這海灣的一切,甚至冬天那波濤洶涌的嚇人景象。
look 普通用語。指人暫時的面部表情或舉止行為,特別用以強調人的外貌具體細節,如顏色、形狀、表情、神態等。
例如:a look of dismay passed over his face. 他臉色變得沮喪。
charlette is endowed with good looks. 夏洛特天生麗質。
“恐懼”有何區別 – afraid, scare, anxious, fearful, frightened
這幾個詞都可以表示“害怕,恐慌”的意思,但也有區別。
