“感官”动词用法小结
我们学过了五个与人的感觉有关的动词,它们就是look,sound,smell,ta ste,feel,我们可称之为“感官”动词。

它们的用法有着许多相同点,但也有不同之处,现就此作一小结。

一、这五个动词均可作连系动词,后面接形容词作表语,说明主语所处的状态。

其意思分别为“瞧/听/闻/尝/摸起来……”。

除look之外,其它几个动词的主语往往就是物,而不就是人。

例如:
These flowers smell very sweet、这些花闻起来很香。

The tomatoes feel very soft、这些西红柿摸起来很软。

The music sounds beautiful、
二、这些动词后面也可接介词like短语,like后面常用名词。

例如:
Her idea sounds like fun、她的主意听起来很有趣。

He looks like his father、
三、这五个感官动词也可作实义动词,除look(当“瞧起来……”讲时)只能作不及物动词外,其余四个既可作及物动词也可作不及物动词,其主语通常就是人。

例如:
She smelt the meat、她闻了闻那块肉。

I felt in my pocket for cigarettes、我用手在口袋里摸香烟。

He tasted the soup and added some salt、

四、taste,smell作不及物动词时,可用于“taste / smell + of + 名词”结构,意为“有……味道/ 气味”。

例如:
The air in the room smells of earth、房间里的空气有股泥土味。

The bread taste of sugar、
五、它们(sound除外)可以直接作名词,与have或take构成短语。

例如:
May I have a taste of the mooncakes？我可以尝一口这月饼不？May I have a look at your photo?
六、其中look,sound,feel还能构成“look / sound / feel + as if +从句”结构,意为“瞧起来/听起来/ 感觉好像……”。

例如:
It looks as if our class is going to win、瞧来好像我们班要获胜了It sounds as if the rain is very heavy、
