英语六级-完形语法关键句373. It seems somewhat absurd to expect anyone

373. It seems somewhat absurd to expect anyone to drive 3 hours just for a 20-minute meeting.

译文　要一个人开3个小时的车去参加一个20分钟的会议，这似乎有点儿荒唐。

点睛　本句的句式为It seems...to do sth.，意为“做某事似乎……”。如：

It seems rather difficult to comprehend that article. 要理解那篇文章似乎很有难度。

该句式也可以变为it seems to sb. that...，意为“……对于某人来说……”。如：

It seems to me that Mr. Brown will not come again. 在我看来，布朗先生不会再来了。

考点归纳　与somewhat形似的词还有somehow和somewhere，用法如下：

somewhat意为“有点儿”。如：

The cake we made was somewhat of a failure. 我们做的蛋糕不大成功。

somehow意为“不知怎么地；设法”。如：

He could have finished it on schedule, but somehow he fell behind. 他原本能按预定进度做完这件事的，但不知怎么地却落后了。

somewhere意为“在（或到）某处”。如：
