① interested是過(guò)去分詞形式,interesting是現(xiàn)在分詞形式,加-ed的interested具有被動(dòng)意義,常用于be interested in結(jié)構(gòu)中,主語(yǔ)只能是人,不能是物,意為“對(duì)……感興趣”。
I am interested in the book. 我對(duì)這本書(shū)感興趣。
I found her interested in the film. 我發(fā)現(xiàn)她對(duì)這部電影感興趣。(interested作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ))
② interesting具有主動(dòng)意義,意為“有趣的,令人感興趣的”,可修飾人或物,可用作定語(yǔ)、表語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)。
He is a very interesting man. 他是個(gè)很有趣的人。
The film is really interesting. 那部電影確實(shí)有趣。
