【詞語辨析】
satisfied satisfying satisfactory 的區(qū)別和用法(轉(zhuǎn)):
1、satisfied:“感到滿意的”
指用作主語的人本身對某事或別人所做的事感到滿意。在用作表語或定語時,其句中的主語或修飾的名詞一般都是表示人的名詞,少數(shù)為非生物名詞。一般組成的短語是:be satisfied with sb./sth“對某人/某物感覺滿意”。 此外,它還有“確信的”的意思,其后接that從句或介詞短語。
例一: The satisfied boy has just left. 那個感到滿意的小孩剛走。
例二: The customer was satisfied with the pair of shoes. 這位顧客對他買的那雙鞋子感到滿意。
例三: I was satisfied that he was guilty. 我確信他有罪。
2、satisfactory / satisfying:都是“令人(感覺到)滿意的”意思。
指用作主語的人本身對某事或別人所做的事感到滿意。其句中的主語或修飾的名詞大都是表示事物的名詞。兩者一般可以換用。但是,satisfying 用得較少;而satisfactory卻是一個常用的詞。
例: The explanation is a satisfactory / satisfying one.
這是一種令人滿意的解釋。
