 ♣ appear, look, seem
　这三个词都可用作系动词，表示“看起来”。其区别是：
1. 在含义上， appear强调外表上给人的某种印象，有时含实质上并非如此的意思；look意味着看上去如此，实际亦是如此；seem则暗示判断有一定根据，这种判断往往接近事实。例如：

2. 在用法上，这三个词都可跟形容词或"to be+形容词或名词”结构，也可用于It appears〔appeared〕/looks〔looked〕/seems〔seemed〕 as if...结构。但是， appear和seem跟to-v时仍表示“看起来”，而look接to-v则是“盼望”的意思。例如：

　另外， appear和seem可用于It appears〔appeared〕/seems〔seemed〕 that...结构，而look不能。例如：

　还有， appear和seem一般不用于进行体；而look可用现在进行时，这和一般现在时所表示的意思无多大区别。例如：
　You are looking〔look〕 very unhappy.　你看起来很不高兴。
 ♣ appear, emerge, loom
　这三个词的共同意思是“出现”，其区别是：appear强调的是公开露面；emerge指从某个掩蔽处出现或摆脱遮挡物而被看见，强调“缓缓出现”; loom则强调眼前出现的物体好像从云雾中发出，无明显轮廓，即“朦胧出现”。

1. 到处可以听到对物价高涨的怨言。
　［误］ Complaints about soaring prices appeared everywhere.
　［正］ Complaints about soaring prices could be heard everywhere.
　［析］ appear指能被看到的，而complaint只用于“能被听到”，不表示 “能被看到”。
2. 他今天看上去很生气。
　［误］ He appeared very angrily today.
　［正］ He appeared very angry today.
　［析］ appear用作系动词时，只能与形容词连用，不能与副词连用。
3. 他常常是不速之客，而且来了坐下就吃。
　［误］ He often appeared unexpected and invited himself to lunch.
　［正］ He often appeared unexpectedly and invited himself to lunch.
　［析］ appear作“出现”解时，是不及物动词，不能与形容词连用。
4. 他显得很伤心。
　［误］ He is appearing very sad.
　［正］ He appears very sad.
　［析］ appear不能用于进行体，可用一般现在时表示目前的状况。
5. 在他眼前展现出一派秋收大忙的景象。
　［误］ There a busy scene of autumn harvesting appeared before his eyes.
　［正］ There appeared before his eyes a busy scene of autumn harvesting.
　［析］ appear用于存在句型时，相当于be，需置于引导词there之后，主语之前，构成主谓倒装。

1. 在叙述某物开始销售的日期或时期的句子中要用引导词there. 例如：
　In the 1960s there appeared a new type of car. 　60年代出现一种新型汽车。
　In the same year there appeared the book in a shop.　同年这本书开始发行。
2. appear与不定式连用，有两种否定形式，其意思相同，后者比前者更正式。例如：

　［同义词］ arise, arrive, emerge, turn up
　［反义词］ disappear, evaporate, vanish
　［词源］拉丁语apparere（显现，出现）
