1. interesting 表示使人感兴趣,interested 表示某人自己本身感兴趣。如:
The story is very interesting, so all the children are interested in it. 这个故事很有趣,所以所有的孩子都对它感兴趣。
2. 不要认为 interesting 一定指物,interested 一定指人。如:
Our English teacher is very interesting. 我们的英语教师很有趣。
I read an interested expression on his face. 我看到他脸上露出一种感兴趣的表情。
3. be interested 之后可接 in doing sth 或 to do sth,含义稍有差别:接前者意为“对做某事感兴趣”,接后者意为“有兴趣地做某事”。如:
He is interested in becoming a painter. 他对当画家很感兴趣(即一心想当画家)。
We are interested to hear your remark. 我们很有兴趣想听听你的意见。
