appear与seem都能够暗示“看起来（好似）”的意思。但两词的侧重点区别。
1、appear指的是外观看上去似乎如此，强调外表上给人某种印象，含有实质上是不是如此则不得而知。其更强调视觉上的“看法”。
例句1：The problem appears (to be) very complicated.问题似乎很繁杂。
例句2：He appeared to be the manager in the company.他好似是机构的经理。
2、seem所暗示的“似乎”或“看来”是以客观的迹象为依据的，含义是有必定按照的。指看起来接近实质状况的判断。可接形容词或不定式作表语，或用于It seems(that,as if)..的句型。
例句1：Do whatever seems best.只要觉察出是最好的，就去做。
例句2：You don’t seem to be quite yourself today. 你今天看来好似不太对头。
例句3：It seems to me that there is something funny about the case.在我看来这件案子有点奇怪。
弥补学习：appear和seem都可作不及物动词，通常不消于进行时态。但两词所暗示的含义是有区别的。前者更强调视觉上的“看法”，而后者则暗示判断有必定按照，这种判断常常接近事实。
She appeared to have caught cold. 从外表看上去，她似乎得了感冒。
The man seemed to be ill.这个人好似患病了。
总结：appear和seem都能够暗示“看起来似乎”appear侧重于表象的看法，而seem侧重于客观事实为依据的判断。
