Seeming to be one of the few corporations diversified enough to survive the recession, many shareholders ignored the drop in third-quarter profits and invested even more heavily in Emco.
(A) Seeming to be
(B) As if
(C) In that they seemed
(D) Although it seemed
(E) Because it seemed to be

谁能解释一下这句的意思 ,it 是不是指 Emco

yzlinlin · 发表于 2003-10-19 18:24:00

it是指代Emco.

该句A，B错在逻辑主语----shareholders seeming to be, 而且B中的as if 用在此不妥。

C 中they 与要指代的one of the few corporations(Emco) 不一致。

D不符合seem to be的用法，although 也不如because 清楚地表达句意要表示的因果关系。

记得OG中有一体题和这题及其类似：

Because it seems to be the only union..., sb. .....

What is correct usage of "as if"?

我想问seem的用法：D改成because后对吗？“seem＋名词”一定不可以么？我记得有句子：There seems no reason～～请大家指教吧～～

seem (to be) + 名词

to be 的确可以省略

example:He seemed (to be ) such a nice man---I was amazed to hear he had murdered his wife.

按楼上的这位的假设, 会不会是有意思上的区别,就类似OG-9的believe to be 和believe is 的解释, 想不通~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1，seem to be+ 客观事实----看上去肯定真实的东东。seem+主观印象。区别不总是明显的，经常能混用。

2，名词短语前经常用seem to be。只有在着重表现主观感受的名词短语前，to be 可以省，尤其在英国英语中。
