有读者问一道选择题:
(1)The story sounds _____.
A. to be true B. as true
C. being true D. true
答案是D,为何不选A?
连系动词sound, smell, taste等皆不后接“to be +形容词”,而只后接形容词,再如:
(2)It smells sweet.
(3)It tastes nice.
只有少数连系动词,如seem, appear, prove等,为了强调其语气,始可后接“to be+形容词”,如:
(4)It seems to be right.
(5)He appears to be rich.
(6)It proves to be true.
