我做完形填空题,
是这样:
Other tests have shown that laughter ( ) to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body.
A.appears B.seems C.Both A and B
答案是什麽?
appear to do和seem to do可以互换吗?有什麽区别?

选C.都可以
appear to do和seem to do可以互换。
英汉词典对seem 的解释之一是:
seem: appear to be somthing.
这也是词典的解释:
★seem 和 appear 在应用上常无差别,但前者似可导致某种结论,后者仅仅显示某一客观现象:He seems to be sick, for he appears pale. -er
