下面,我們學幾個感觀動詞:seem(好像是), sound(聽上去), feel(感覺是),look(看上去)。在使用這些感觀動詞時,我們通常在這些動詞的后面加一些形容詞,或副詞。那么,我們把本課剛剛學過的那4個形容詞運用起來和這些感觀動詞一起練練口語吧:
It seems like a terrific idea. 這好像是個很不錯的主意。
This sales report sounds awful. 這個銷售報告聽上去糟糕透了。

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