问题: pleasant/pleasing

pleasant 和pleasing的区别?

解答:

pleasant表示被修饰的对象由于具有令人高兴的外表或热切的气质而使人感到有一种自然的吸引力
"Excuse me,"she said, "Can you tell me the way to King Street please?" The man smiled pleasantly. He did not understand English!
“对不起,”她说。“可以告诉我到国王街怎样走吗?”那个人令人愉快地微微一笑,他不懂英语!

pleasing具有pleasant 的含义,但另外多一层有意识地去讨人喜欢的含义
She is very pleasing waitress.
她是个很会讨顾客喜欢的女招待。
She has a pleasing shape.
她的身段很俊俏。
