下面,我们学几个感观动词:seem(好像是), sound(听上去), feel(感觉是),look(看上去)。在使用这些感观动词时,我们通常在这些动词的后面加一些形容词,或副词。那么,我们把本课刚刚学过的那4个形容词运用起来和这些感观动词一起练练口语吧:
It seems like a terrific idea. 这好像是个很不错的主意。
This sales report sounds awful. 这个销售报告听上去糟糕透了。
I feel terrible about your losing your job. 我对你失去工作深表难过。
You look gorgeous in the necklace. 你戴上这项链看上去很美。

B: It sounds terrific, I’d love to. 太好了,我很愿意。
A: I’ve been sick for days. 我都病了好几天了。
