pleased at/pleased with

核心问题

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?

词典解答

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。
