看来 kànlái apparently
apparently; it seems that
怎么记住“看来”: 看 look at + 来 come = apparently.
汉字
用法
- Marks a conclusion you're drawing - 'it seems/apparently': 看来他不来了 (kànlái tā bù lái le) looks like he isn't coming.
- Usually sits at the front of the clause as a comment, often after 现在/这样 (xiànzài/zhèyàng). Add 在我看来 (zài wǒ kànlái) 'in my view' to attribute the judgment to yourself.
- Distinct from 好像 (hǎoxiàng) 'seems like' - 看来 draws an inference from evidence, 好像 hedges a resemblance.
例句
- 你看来不大高兴。 Nǐ kànlái bú dà gāoxìng.You don't look so happy.
- 看来他只有在睡觉时不吃东西。 Kànlái tā zhǐyǒu zài shuìjiàoshí bùchī dōngxī.It seems that the only time he isn't eating is when he's sleeping.
- 在我看来很有意思！ Zàiwǒkànlái hěn yǒuyìsi!It seems interesting to me.
