ound like的意思
sound like的意思是“是听起来像”,其中的like为介词,所以其后通常接名词或代词作宾语。如:
Your doctrine certainly sounds like socialism. 你的学说听起来的确很像社会主义。
Malta sounds like a great place for a relaxing holiday. 马耳他似乎是一个轻松度假的好去处。
It was meant to sound like an epoch-making declaration. 有意让它听起来像是一个划时代的宣言。
I told her she didn’t have to do that,which sounds like an ungrateful thing to say. 我对她说她并非一定要做那件事。这样说听上去好像有些忘恩负义。
It sounds like an advert: easy on the ear but bland and forgettable. 这听起来像广告词:听着简单易懂,但是枯燥乏味,容易忘记。
Whilst this might sound like a truism, it is nevertheless a crucial problem to address. 尽管这可能听起来像是老生常谈,但却是待解决的重要问题。
sound like 的搭配
前面已提到sound like中的like是介词,所以其后接动词时,要用动名词。如:
What he wants is a switch to a market economy in a way which does not reduce people’s standard of living. To many this sounds like wanting to have his cake and eat it. 他想要转型为市场经济,同时又不降低人们的生活水平。在许多人看来,这是想要鱼与熊掌兼得。
