would seem

核心问题

A. That would seem the best solution to me.

B. That seems the best solution to me.

请问句(A)would 的含义和用法。

词典解答

上面两句中的 seemswould seem 在时间上没有差别。句(B)seems 把话说得明确而肯定,而句(A)中的 would seem 表达的也是现在时间,但是它能把话说得含糊,而不那么明确(有时可译为:想必是,我猜想)。因此,句(A)与(B)的区别主要表现在说话的语气上。

  1. For the survival of our society it would appear essential. (Dorothy Barelay) 为了我们社会的生存,这好像是必不可少的。

  2. The mechanics of transmitting the sound were perfect, I would say. (Philip Hamburger) 我不妨说,传导声音的机械装置是完善的。
