  1.相同点     这三个词都可表示“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 looks(或seems/appears)(to be)honest.她似乎很诚实。     He looks(或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:look着重由视觉而得出的印象;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 doesn’t look his age.他看起来没有他实际年龄那么大。     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)look和seem之后可接like,而appear之后不能接。如;     He looks(或seems)like a fool.他看上去像个傻瓜。     2)三者之后均可接不定式,但look后接不定式一般只限于to be。如:     She appears to be leaving.或他看上去很累了。     He seemed to laugh初中化学at us.她似乎想走了。     He seemed to laugh at us.他好像在笑我们。     3)三者均可用于以it开头的句子。但要注意:look之后接as if或as though引导的从句,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 looks(或seems)as if you’re right.看来你似乎是对的。     It appears that I am wrong.看来是我错了。     It seems that he is ill.他好像是有病。     注:look在不以it开头的句子里也可后接as if或as though。另外,appear之后有时也可接as if。如:     They looked as if they didn’t care.他们看起来好像不在乎。     It appears as if they’ve lost interest看来他们已失去了兴趣。     4)在there be开头的句子中,可用seem和appear,而不用look。如:     There seems(或appears)to be something the matter with her.他看来像是出了什么事似的。
