查了下collins字典，seem 和seem to be 后面都何以直接加名词或形容词

其中seem和seem to be的用法有一些区别:

“If the adjective is a classifying adjective, you usually use seem to be. For example, you say' He seemed to be alone', you don't say ' He seemed alone'. ”

“If the none group contains a determiner but not a adjective, you must use seem to be. For example, you say' He seemed to be the owner of the car'. You do not say' He seemed the owner of the car'."
