问
Miss Green is really a ____ teacher. Her lessons are interesting and unforgettable.
A. pleasure B. pleased C. pleasant D. please(引自《中学英语错解辨析辞典》)
我选了 B, 但答案却是 C。我不知道这是为什么。
答
中国学生常常把这两个词弄混。其实，它们的词义是完全不同的。pleased 是描述人的感情的，意思是“对……感到高兴(的)”，而 pleasant 是描述人或事物的性质的，意思是“令人高兴的”“令人愉快的”“讨人喜欢的”：
-
She wasn't pleased when he told her he'd lost the tickets. 他告诉她他把票弄丢了，她很不高兴。
-
He's a very pleasant person. 他很讨人喜欢。
-
In another shop, the assistant treated her very well and advised her to buy some ordinary, but very pleasant wine. 在另一家酒店，店员对她很好，建议她买点普通的但是很爽口的酒。
