英语的动词中，有的后面要接名词或
代词等作宾语，有的单独作谓语，而
有的动词要接作表语的形容词或名词
等。我们把后面接表语的动词称为系
动词。最常用、也是同学们最熟悉的
系动词就是be；除be以外，表感觉和
知觉的动词也可以是系动词。
系动词的定义:
表感觉和知觉的动词有：look, smell,
taste, sound, feel, 相当于汉语的“看上
去”、“闻起来”，“尝起来”，“听起
来”，“摸起来”。
注意: 这类系动词与系动词be不同，其
否定形式和疑问形式的构成要加助动词
才行。如：
Does the party sound noisy?
聚会（听起来）很吵吗？
The dishes don’t smell very nice to me.
这些菜我闻着并不很香。
Does he look worried?
他看起来很焦虑吗？
The cake doesn’t taste delicious.
蛋糕尝起来并不好吃。
It sounds quiet.
They taste salty.
That smells strong.
Father feels angry.
look
sound
taste
smell
feel
形容词
He looks busy.
连系动词 + 形容词
连系动词
肯定式: The cheese smells fresh.
否定式: The cheese doesn’t smell fresh.
疑问形式: Does the cheese smell fresh?
系动词（连系动词）：它本身有词义，
但不能单独作谓语，后面必须跟表语构
成系表结构，说明主语的状态、性质、
特征等。
表感觉和知觉的系动词
看起来 look: look smart
听起来 sound: sound noisy
尝起来 taste: taste delicious
摸起来 feel: feel soft
闻起来 smell: smell sweet
