解析appear 和 appearance
我们在第一单元中碰到了appear这个单词,现就详细讲解一下这个单词及近义词的辨析。
appear不及物动词,表示“出现”。也是系动词,表示“似乎,显得”,同义词seem, look;反义词disappear。例:his head soon appeared out of the window. 不一会他从窗户里探出头来。
he appears quite well. 他似乎很健康。
appear的用法:
1.appear用作行为动词时,做“出现”解;作连词用,当“似乎”、“显得”讲,与seem同义。但appear与它的表语一起表达的意义往往与事实不相符合。
例:he appeared quite healthy .他似乎很健康。(但实际上不一定健康)
he appears to be a fool.他似乎是个傻瓜。(但实际上不一定是个傻瓜)
2. appear to sb. + 从句,表示“在某人看来……”。
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,既可以否定谓语,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.
他看上去不喜欢你。
辨析:appear, seem
appear 与 seem 都可以做“看起来”,“好象”解。appear强调外表上给人某种印象,有时含有实质上并非如此的意思。而seem则暗示判断有一定根据,这种判断往往接近事实。
例如:he appears ( to be ) quite old. 他显得很老。(是指他显得很老,但实际情况不一定如此。)
he seems ( to be ) quite old. 他似乎很老。(可能他的确是很老。)
appearance 当表示“出现,显漏”时,常做不可数名词,反义词为disappearance;而表示“外貌,外观,外表”时,为可数名词,复数为appearances。
例:poisonous weeds must be uprooted as soon as they make their appearance.
毒草一出笼就必须铲除。
don’t judge by appearances. 不要根据外表来判断。
辨析:appearance, aspect, look
这三个词都可表示人或物的“外表,外貌”。
appearance 含义较广,无褒贬色彩,往往指全貌。用于人时,除指容貌外,还包括衣着打扮、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. 铝看上去象银。
aspect 指部分外貌。指人的外表、表情、神色时,可与look互换。
例如:the child became afraid of the angry aspect of the man. 那小孩看到那人的一脸怒相,非常害怕。
i love the bay in all its aspects, even its stormy, frightening aspect in winter.
我爱这海湾的一切,甚至冬天那波涛汹涌的吓人景象。
look 普通用语。指人暂时的面部表情或举止行为,特别用以强调人的外貌具体细节,如颜色、形状、表情、神态等。
例如:a look of dismay passed over his face. 他脸色变得沮丧。
charlette is endowed with good looks. 夏洛特天生丽质。
“恐惧”有何区别 – afraid, scare, anxious, fearful, frightened
这几个词都可以表示“害怕,恐慌”的意思,但也有区别。
