7.“很高兴你能出席大会”? 问:上个问题(问6)中你谈到“高兴”也与“决心”相似。你能否进一步解释一下,它在哪一点上与“决心”相似?依我看,“高兴”是一个很明显的形容词,与“决心”很不一样。 答:是的,从一个侧面看,“高兴”与“决心”是大不相同的。但是从另一个侧面看,它们却又有相似之处。它们的后面都可以接续一个谓词性词语,而且前后的关系都颇为可疑,其本身身份也同样可疑。我们还是先看“高兴”吧。 7. “Glad you can attend the conference.” Q: You mentioned in the previous question (Q6) that “happy” is also similar to “determination.” Could you further explain, at what point is it similar to “determination”? In my opinion, “happy” is a very obvious adjective, which is quite different from “determination.” A: Yes, from one perspective, “happy” and “determined” are very different. But from the other side, they have similarities. They are followed by a predicate word, and the relationship between before and after are quite suspicious, its own identity is equally suspicious. Let’s look at “happy” first.
