【问】 A. That would seem the best solution to me.

B. That seems the best solution to me.

请问句(A)中would的含义和用法。

【答】 上面两句中的seems与would seem在时间上没有差别。句(B)中seems把话说得明确而肯定，而句(A)中的would seem表达的也是现在时间，但是它能把话说得含糊，而不那么明确(有时可译为：想必是，我猜想)。因此，句(A)与(B)的区别主要表现在说话的语气上。

2. The mechanics of transmitting the sound were perfect，I would say.( Philip Hamburg-er)
