常用表达

Look like 是什么意思?“看起来累”为什么不加 like

Look like 表示外貌相像,也可以表示似乎如此。询问室友的长相时,少一个词就会变成问她喜欢什么:两种问法怎样区分?

Look like 表示外貌上像某个人或某物:She looks like her father。另一个常见意思是“似乎、好像”:It looks like it's going to rain。第二种用法偏口语,作文中更常写 It seems that。

想在对话中用 look like 吗?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

look like + person/noun; it looks like + clause; look + adjective (no like)

  • You look like your brother, especially when you smile.
  • From the outside, the new library looks like a giant glass box.
  • It looks like the train is running late again, so let's grab a coffee.

修改原因

修改前You look like tired after the night shift.

修改后You look tired after the night shift.

形容词直接放在 look 后,不加 like:look tired、look happy、look expensive。名词前需要 like,例如 look like a student;完整从句前也可以用 like:It looks like it's going to rain。把 look like 当成任何“看起来”都能用的固定表达,就容易犯这个错误。修改只删去 like。

Cambridge Dictionary

不带 look 的 like 表示喜欢:She likes her sister 指她喜欢姐姐或妹妹;She looks like her sister 则指两人长得像。另一组区别是 What does he look like? 问长相,可以回答 He's tall, with a beard;What is he like? 则可问性格,例如 He's calm and funny。

动手练习

“What does your new flatmate ___?” “She's tall, with short red hair and glasses.”

(look like / like)

查看答案

look like — 回答描述的是身高、头发和眼镜,也就是外貌,对应 What does she look like? What does she like? 问她喜欢什么,外貌描述回答不了这个问题。

描述一个与你长得像的亲戚或朋友。说出是谁,以及你们有哪一项共同的外貌特征。

People often say I look like my older sister because we both have dark curly hair.
