Speaking-Expressing Concern
Jack looks unhappy today. Mary is concerned about him.
Mary: You look terrible. What's wrong with you?
Jack: I failed the English exam.
Mary: I'm sorry to hear that. But you really don't have to feel like that.
Jack: It's the second time I've failed.
Mary: What's the problem, do you know?
Jack: I'm poor in spelling.
Mary: Oh, take it easy. If you agree, I'd like to help you with your spelling.
Jack: Really?
Mary: Sure.
Jack: Thank you very much.
Mary: My pleasure.
1 .You look terrible.你看起来气色不好。
.当look/sound/smell/taste/feel这几个词用作连系动词的时候,它们的意思分别是“看起来”、“听起来”、“闻起来”、“尝起来”、“摸起来”,其用法特点如下:
特点一:通常以被感觉的东西作主语,虽有被动词味,但不用被动语态。
误:The material is felt nice.
这料子摸起来不错。(is felt应改为feels)
误:The soup is tasted delicious.
这汤味道不错。(is tasted应改为tastes)
特点二:其后均可接介词 like。
This looks (tastes, smells, feels) like an orange.
这东西看起来(吃起来,闻起来,摸起来)像桔子。
另外,taste和smell后还可接介词of,表示“有…的味道”:
It tastes [smells] of fish.
这东西有鱼的味道。
特点三:除look外均不用于进行时态(即使是look用于进行时态也不多见)。
You look [are looking] tired this evening. 今晚你好像很累。
但是不说What you says is sounding reasonable.
【注】feel表示“感觉”可用于进行时:
How are you feeling now? 你现在感觉如何?
I'm feeling terrible. 我感到难受极了。
另外,若以上动词用作实义动词,则可以用于进行时态:
He is tasting the pudding.他在尝布丁。
特点四:除look外,均不能接 to be(即使是look后接to be也不多见)。
She looks (to be) the best person for this job.
她似乎是做这项工作的最佳人选。
【注】feel有时可表示“使人感觉起来…”:
It feels cold in here.这儿很冷。
2.What's wrong with you?意思是:你怎么了。

= What's your trouble?
= What's up with you?
=Anything wrong?
