pleased1

be pleased at/with/about

Defarge was pleased at their arrival.

请问上句中(be) pleased at 的用法是否正确?

bepleased 后跟介词 at 的用法是正确的。CGEL 明确指出在形容词 pleased 之后可以

使用 at, aboutwith

  1. She was pleased at having such a nice, quiet roomer. 她很高兴有这样一位安静的好房客。

  2. He smiled, pleased at my surprise. 他微笑了,对我的惊奇感到很得意。

  3. He looks rather pleased with himself, pleased with what he has done. 他看起来对自己,对自己做的事颇为得意。

  4. Are you pleased with your new car? 你对你的新汽车感到满意吗?

  5. She’s given up that boyfriend of hers.” “I’m pleased about that.” “她放弃了她的那个男朋友。”“我对此很高兴。”

pleased2

pleased at/pleased with

We are much pleased ____ the good news.

A. at B. with C. to D. in

有一本书解答说,上题只能选A。但我却觉得也可以选B。您说呢?

bepleased with 与(bepleased at 有一个区别:前者既可以跟表物的名词(代词),也可以跟表人的名词(代词),而后者则只能跟表事或物的名词。

  1. Are you pleased with your new watch? 你的新手表你满意吗?

  2. Your mother will be very pleased with you. 你母亲将对你十分满意。

  3. We are pleased at the election result. 我们对选举结果感到很高兴。

当与表事或物的名词连用时, pleased withpleased at 并没有多大区别:

  1. They were all very pleased with the news. 他们听到那个消息都非常高兴。

  2. We are pleased with/at what he has said. 我们对他所说的话感到高兴。

由此看来,上面的试题是不妥当的。

pleased3

be pleased to meet you

——Let me introduce myself. I am Albert. —— ____.

A. What a pleasure B. It's my pleasure

C. Pleased to meet you D. I'm very pleased(全国高考,93-12)

我觉得四个选项中的哪个选项都是正确的。是这样吗?

在英语里常用下列说法来表示对介绍的应答:

How do you do? (I'm) pleased(glad, happy) to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you. Nice to meet you.

因此,上道试题应选C项。其他选项都不能用作对介绍的应答词。其中的B项(It's my pleasure)在应答别人的感谢时使用(见pleasure)

pleased4

The two friends were very pleased to see each other again.

动词不定式与 pleased 在语法上是什么关系?

可以把动词不定式 to see 看作是形容词 pleased 的补足语(有的英语著作把动词不定式看作是状语), 见 sure (glad) that
