satisfactory 与 satisfied 的意义是不同的。A is satisfactory. 意为：“A 是令人满意的。”(satisfactory = giving pleasure or satisfaction, satisfying)。A is satisfied. 意为“A……感到满意的。”例如：
a satisfactory explanation(令人满意的解释)
a satisfactory performance(令人满意的演出)
a satisfied smile(满意的微笑)
a satisfied customer(感到满意的顾客)
请对比：
delightful ——delighted; pleasant ——pleased
