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
(be)pleased with 与(be)pleased 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。
-
Are you pleased with your new watch? 你的新手表你满意吗?
-
Your mother will be very pleased with you. 你母亲将对你十分满意。
-
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 with 与 pleased at 并没有多大区别:
-
They were all very pleased with the news. 他们听到那个消息都非常高兴。
-
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。
