詞語辨析

happy, cheerful, glad, joyful

這組詞都有“高興”的意思。其區別是:

1.happy指心情舒暢、事事順利或對他人表示良好祝願時的幸福、愉快心情,可指一般的高興; cheerful指表露出來的歡悅,是樂觀天性的自然流露,特別是在令人不快的情況下仍保持欣悅的心情; joyful程度最強,指心情極好或得到了強烈的滿足。例如:

She felt joyful at the prospect of seeing him at last.她為終將看到他而感到欣喜。

He always seems cheerful even in defeat.他總是高高興興,即使輸了也這樣。

2.happy和glad都含有“快樂的”的意思, happy常指因某一特定的事或原因而“快樂”,且一般只作表語。

3.happy有“幸福”之義,而glad沒有此義。例如:

He is always happy to help others.

他常樂於助人。

He's very glad about the news.

聽到這訊息他非常高興。

4.cheerful後接動詞不定式有時還可表示“令人愉快的”。

?下面兩個句子意思不同:

He went away happy.

他走時是愉快的。

He went away happily.

他愉快地走了。

正誤解析

大家都很高興聽這個訊息。

[誤] It is happy for everybody to hear the news.

[正] Everybody is happy to hear the news.

[析] happy可用於sb is happy to-v結構,不可用於it is happy for sb to-v結構。
