seem否定

在英語中,當使用系動詞如`seem`、`appear`、`feel`、`taste`和`sound`時,如果想要表達否定意義,通常不直接對這些系動詞使用否定詞。相反,否定詞放在這些系動詞前面,但實際上否定的是系動詞後面的不定式、表語或從句。例如:

"It doesn't seem to lack anything." 實際上是在說"看起來缺少了某些東西"。

"He doesn't seem to like dogs." 實際上是在說"他似乎喜歡狗狗"。

此外,這些系動詞引導的從句也可以將否定詞直接放置在從句的謂語部分。例如:

"I feel that I am not yet strong enough to live independently." 實際上是在說"我覺得我已經足夠強壯可以獨立生活了"。

"It seems to him that he had not worked so hard in his life." 實際上是在說"他覺得他一生中曾經這麼努力工作過"。

因此,對於"seem"的否定形式,正確的表達方式是在"seem"前面加上"doesn't",而不是使用"do not seem"。例如:"He doesn't seem to like the plan." 表示"他似乎不太喜歡這個計劃"。

綜上所述,正確的否定形式是使用"doesn't",而不是"do not"。
