"be dissatisfied with" 是一个常用英语短语,核心含义是“对……感到不满意/不满”,表达主语(通常是人)对某事物、某人或某种情况不符合预期、需求或标准的负面感受。
该短语是“系表结构+介词短语”的组合,用法规律如下:
be动词:需根据主语的人称(I/you/he/she等)和时态(现在/过去/将来等)调整,如 am/is/are/was/were/will be 等。
程度副词:可加在 "dissatisfied" 前加强语气,如 very(非常)、extremely(极其)、quite(相当)等。
宾语:可以是名词/代词(具体的人或物)、动名词(表示“对做某事不满”)。
以下通过不同场景的例句说明:
对“事物”不满(宾语是名词):
She is very dissatisfied with her new laptop — it keeps crashing.(她对新笔记本电脑非常不满——它总死机。)
We were dissatisfied with the quality of the food at the restaurant.(我们对餐厅的食物质量不满意。)
对“人”不满(宾语是名词/代词):
The teacher was dissatisfied with his progress in math.(老师对他的数学进步不满意。)
I'm dissatisfied with the manager — he never listens to our ideas.(我对经理不满——他从不听我们的想法。)
对“行为/情况”不满(宾语是动名词/名词短语):
He is dissatisfied with being left out of the team.(他对被排除在团队外感到不满。)
They will be dissatisfied with the decision if it's not fair.(如果决定不公平,他们会不满。)
现在时:I am dissatisfied with my job.(我对工作不满。)
过去时:She was dissatisfied with the service yesterday.(她昨天对服务不满。)
将来时:We will be dissatisfied with the result if nothing changes.(如果没变化,我们会对结果不满。)
反义词:"be satisfied with"(对……满意),可对比记忆:
She was dissatisfied with her apartment last year, but now she's satisfied with it.(她去年对公寓不满,但现在满意了。)
易错点:不可用 "to" 代替 "with"(be dissatisfied to 是错误表达),必须用 "with" 引出不满的对象。
"be dissatisfied with" 是表达“不满”的标准短语,核心是“人对某对象的不满”,只需根据主语和时态调整be动词,并明确“不满的对象”即可灵活使用。
