系动词的定义:
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。
仔细看这些句子:
The chocolate cookies smell sweet.
巧克力曲奇饼干闻起来甜甜的。
He looks angry.
他看上去很生气。
It tastes delicious.
这尝起来味道鲜美。
The shirt feels soft.
这衬衫摸上去很软。
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。
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。
看起来 look: look smart
听起来 sound: sound noisy
表感觉
和知觉
尝起来 taste: taste delicious
的
摸起来 feel: feel soft
系动词
闻起来 smell: smell sweet
