同义辨异(1)

1. dissatisfied 与 unsatisfied

satisfied 有两个反义词, 意思有所不同,

dissatisfied   表示 “不满意”

unsatisfied   表示 “不满足”

例句:

The teacher was dissatisfied with the student's homework. 不满意

I was dissatisfied with the service I received during my stay in the hotel. 不满意

The boy was unsatisfied with the biscuits I gave him. He wanted more. 不满足

The curiosity was unsatisfied.  没有满足

She is an unsatisfied wife.  无法满足

So, if you don't like something, you can say "I'm dissatisfied with it ", and if you like something but you haven't got enough, you want more, you can say "I'm unsatisfied with it".

2.  I'm working in Paris   I work in Paris.

动词 work 用于"进行时"和"现在时"意义有所不同。

用进行时表示工作是临时性的,例: I'm working in Paris. (暗示这情形是暂时的)

用现在时则表示工作是固定的,例: I work in Paris. (我在巴黎工作)

 英语段子一则,轻松一下,

女孩问男孩,为什么英语字母排列是 ABCDEFG ? 男友说,因为 A Boy Can Do Everything For Girls. 女孩感动,决定非他不嫁。但她忘记了字母表接下来的排列是 HIJK: He Is Just Kidding.
