关于interesting与interested之类孪生词

诸如interesting与interested此类成对的孪生形容词，常使人扑朔迷离。初学者面临抉往往踟蹰再三，莫衷一是，似乎使用起来大有动辄犯禁之虞。兹略举数句错例如下：

1) *The volleyball match yesterday was excited.

2) *The inspired news came to us.

3) *Are you pleasing with his reply?

以上，句1）应使用exciting；句2）应使用inspiring；句3）应使用pleased。

为什么？

就interesting与interested而言，这两个形容词都是由及物动词interest（使……感兴趣）派生而来的。其区别在于：

1. 语义上，

interesting属外向性质的词，用于指人、事、物的外在影响方面，意为“使（外）人感兴趣的”；

interested属内向性质的词，用于指人的内心感受方面，意为“（内心）对……感兴趣的”。试比较：

4a）That interesting old man came to our school every day.

那个有趣的老人天天到我们学校来。

4b）An interested foreigner came and visited our school.

一位感兴趣的外国人来参观我们学校。

5a）This book is interesting to me.

这本书在我看来很有趣。

5b）I’m interested in this book.

我对这本书很感兴趣。

同样地：

6a）This is a most confusing problem.

这是一个极其令人混淆的问题。 （外在影响）

6b）The pupils will get confused if they are made to learn too much.

要学生学太多的话，他们会搞糊涂的。 （内心感受）

7a）The boy is so disappointing; he has failed in the exam again.

这男孩真使人失望，又考不及格了。 （外在影响）

7b）The parents are disappointed in the boy.

父母亲对这男孩感到失望。 （内心感受）

究其根源，interesting等属现在分词，而interested等属过去分词。从语态（voice）的角度来认识，现在分词体现主动含义，过去分词体现被动含义。故前者用于表达“外在影响”，而后者用于表达“内心感受”。

2. 用法上，

interesting既可以作表语（如例句5a，7a），也可以作定语（如4a，6a）。作表语时，其主语既可以是人（如例句7a），也可以是事或物（如例句5a）；作定语时，既可以修饰人（如例句4a），也可以修饰事或物（如例句6a）。

interested多在句中作表语（如例句5b，6b，7b），但偶尔也可以作定语（如例句4b）。作表语时，其主语通常只能是人（如例句5b，6b，7b），不能是事或物；作定语时，也只能修饰人（如例句4b），而不能修饰事或物。道理是，人既可以表现其“外在影响”，又可以表现其“内心感受”，但事或物则只能表现其“外在影响”，又无法表达其什么“内心感受”，这便是各自囿于本身的词汇意义的缘故。

此类孪生词均由一些表示心理状态的及物动词派生而来。主要有：alarm（使惊慌），amaze（使惊异），amuse（使发笑），annoy（使烦火），astonish（使惊讶），astound（使惊恐），bewilder（使迷惑），bore（使厌烦），cheer（使兴奋），confuse（使混淆），delight（使高兴），depress（使消沉），disappoint（使失望），discourage（使沮丧），encourage（使鼓舞），excite（使激动），exhaust（使筋疲力尽），frighten（使害怕），gratify（使满足），horrify（使恐惧），inspire（使激励），interest（使兴趣），irritate（使费解），move（使感动），perplex（使困惑），please（使愉快），puzzle（使费解），refresh（使精力恢复），satisfy（使满意），shock（使震惊），surprise（使惊奇），terrify（使恐怖），tire（使疲乏），torment（使痛苦），vex（使烦恼），worry（使担心）等等。
