英语口语与写作大讲堂：推测趋势或时间发展的情况的英语表达。职场中总不免会有与同事八卦闲聊，或是在处理公司及开会时遇到需要推测趋势或时间发展的情况，这时就会需要本篇文章里所学到的表现方法，帮你清楚表达自己对人事物的推测（关注本网站，持续更新大量英语资料，不定时发放英语学习大礼包，文末有福利！） 重点句型|Sentence Pattern (1) It seems that… 看起来;似乎 利用这个句型可以表示对事件的推测。句型后面通常承接that引导的从句。要特别表示是自己的想法与推测时，可用"It seems to me that... It seems that Lydia can't join us at the party tonight. 看来莉迪亚今晚无法跟我们起参加派对了。 It seems to me that Kenny won't agree with this idea.我觉得肯尼不会同意这个主意的。 此外，seem后面可直接接形容词或不定式。而形式主语it也可以换为明确的主语。 The offer seems disadvantageous to us.这条件似乎对我们不利。 This apartment seems very expensive.这间公寓(住房)似乎很贵。 The product seems to sell well.这个产品似乎卖得不错。 但要特别注意的是，若是形式主语引导的句子直接接形容词时，容易有语意不清的问题，所以最好只在会话场合且主题明确时才这样使用。 It seems unreasonable.这似乎不太合理。 (2) ..makes one wonder if.. 让人猜想是否..... 这个句型可用来说明根据某件观察到的事件进而做出的推测。If也可以用whether 替代，whether后面可加or not。 Jessie's sneaky behavior makes me wonder if she's planning something for my birthday. = Jessie's sneaky behavior makes me wonder whether she's planning something for my birthday (or not).洁西鬼鬼祟祟的行为让我猜想，她是否在为我的生日计划些什么。 Mike has been absent for a few days, and it makes me wonder if he's sick. = Mike has been absent for a few days, and it makes me wonder whether he's sick (or not). 迈克已经几天都没来了,这让我猜想他是否生病了。 (3) sb. seems (to be +) Adj/to +V 某人似乎、 好像...... 与前述的句型类似，但主要表示对人物的推测。此时以人物为主 请seem的后面可接形容调或不定式。 Sandy seems （to be)taller as I remembered珊蒂似乎比我记得的还要再高一些。 Roger seemed to forget about our date.罗杰好像忘了我们的约会。 除了以“(to be +)Adj."以及"to + V"的承接方式之外，这个句型也可以像前面所提到的，利用as if/as though/like来承接从句，表示“好像”的意思。 Maggie seems as if she has no interest in this topic= Maggie seems as though she has no interest in this topic. = Maggie seems like she has no interest in this topic.玛姬看来好像对这话题没什么兴趣。 Paul seems (as if/as though/like he is)tired保罗看起来好像很累。 (4) I can't help wondering if.../I can't help but wonder if... 我不得不猜想是否..... 同样表示个人的猜测，这里介绍的两个句型表现出自己并不想随便猜测，却不自主地这么猜想。 I can't help wondering if Tammy wrote the proposal on her own. =I can't help but wonder if Tammy wrote the proposal on her own. 我不得不猜想这份提案是否是泰咪自己写的。 I can't help wondering if Kevin and Gina are dating.=I can't help but wonder if Kevin and Gina are dating.我不得不猜想凯文和吉娜是否在交往。 (5) If my guess is right, ... 如果我猜得没错， 这是利用if引导的条件从句做出推测的句型。动词用is而不是was表示在if引导的从句中所推测、假设的事很可能是事实。 If my guess is right, Mr. McKay will call again to negotiate the terms tomorrow. 若我猜得没错，麦凯先生明天会再打电话来跟我们协商条件。 .If my guess is right, Eva got the job as she expected 若我猜得没错，伊娃得到了她想要的那份工作。 相信学习完这篇文章之后，大家都会知道遇到这种情况该怎么去回应，如果你还想更进步的发展，你可以点击下面的链接，免费获取一对一课程。 必克英语一对一培训，地道英语学习，
