在这类动词中，feel可以表示身体、精神或情感等方面的痛苦感觉，如 feel cold／hungry／sad／bad／discouraged／discontented／disappointed等.也可以表示积极的、肯定的、正面的情感，如feel happy／well／comfortable／sure／confident等。动词feel的这种用法，相当于动词be.例如：

129）a．He is confident of success．

（他对成功颇有信心。）

130）a．We are not bound to accept the offer．

b．We don't feel bound to accept the offer．

（我能感觉有个东西顺我的胳臂往上爬。）

b．I felt hot when I ate the food with pepper．

此外，动词feel及see，hear，后跟that从句时，不表示人体感觉，而表示思想认识，例如：

135）a．I feel（that） he is right．

b．I think（that） he is right．

（我觉得他是对的。）

136）a．I came to see that the plan was unwise．

b．I came to understand／realize that the plan was unwise．

（我逐渐认识到这个计划是不明智的。）

137）a．I heard that John would come．

b．I was told that John would come．

（我获悉约翰要来。）

句型 Sb．hears／finds oneself doing sth．不是表示感觉能力或感觉状态，而是表示“意外结果”（unexpected result）或“意外经历”（unexpected experience）。这个句型可以改为 Sb．is（unexpectedly） heard／found doingsth．或People（unexpectedly）hear／find sb．doing sth．，例如：

138）a．She heard herself saying afterwards to the amazement of her friends，“I've won the first prize．”

b．She was（unexpectedly）heard saying afterwards to the amazement of her friends，“I've won the first prize．
