Question

16．雖然經(jīng)理盡力想挽留他，但看來他去意已決． （ seem ）The manager tried to persuade him to stay，but he seemed to have made up his mind to resign/leave．
The manager tried to persuade him to stay，but it seemed that he had decided to leave．．

Answer 1

分析 The manager tried to persuade him to stay，but he seemed to have made up his mind to resign/leave．
The manager tried to persuade him to stay，but it seemed that he had decided to leave．

解答 The manager tried to persuade him to stay，but he seemed to have made up his mind to resign/leave．
The manager tried to persuade him to stay，but it seemed that he had decided to leave．
本句中的句子部分為過去的一個事實，用一般過去時；后面的分句為過去的過去，所以用過去完成時或者seemed to have done（仿佛過去已經(jīng)做了某事）．
本句為but連接的一個并列句，也可用一個主從復(fù)合句，that引導(dǎo)一個表語從句，作seen 的表語．persuade sb to do sth意為"說服某人做某事"；make up one's mind to do sth，decide to do sth下定決心做某事．

點評 本句的翻譯形式多樣，對于短語persuade sb to do sth意為"說服某人做某事"還可用persuade sb into doing sth來表達(dá)．
