As she turned around， it seemed as if she were an angel. 她轉(zhuǎn)過身來時，猶如一個天使。

【信息提取】It seemed as if...意為“好像……”。as if后接從句時，如果表示一種假設(shè)或愿望，通常用虛擬語氣。如果表示現(xiàn)在的虛擬，從句中用過去式;如果表示過去的虛擬，從句中用過去完成時態(tài);如果表示將來的虛擬，從句中用would/could/might+動詞原形。

e.g. Although he had never been to the place， he knew a lot about it and it seemed as if he had grown up there. 盡管他從未去過那個地方，但他對那個地方非常了解，就好像他在那里長大一樣。

【句式仿寫】他感到如此高興，以至于他好像在夢境一樣。
