It seemed as if the night would never end. 这里可以用seems吗?

原句用seemed是说当时的情况。你改为seems就成了现在的情形了,意思是不同的。


The young girl seems much better this morning. 这句明明是今天早上为什么用seems.

说话时就在早上,所以this morning是现在时间。


还有下面这两句. 明明意思差不多.   然而一个用seemed 一个用seems.  

二个句子一个主句为现在时,一个主句为过去时,说话人关心的时间不同,你怎么能认为二个句子意思差不多呢?

It seemed that nobody knew anything about the matter.

在当时看来当时的情形如何。

It seems that no one knew what had happened.

现在看来当时的情形如何。

It seemed as if the night would never end. 这里可以用seems吗?

   【答】不能。如果as if从句中的谓语动词属于过去范畴的时态(如 would end 和 was going 都是过去将来时,属于过去范畴的时态),主句应该用 It seemed ,如:

     It seemed as if the night was never going to end. 那个夜晚好像永远没个尽头。(摘自《牛津英语用法指南》第四版578.6节)
