类似表达:
sth. be of satisfaction to sb.
sth. satisfy sb.
sth. be of interest to sb. (某物引起某人兴趣)
sb. be interested in sth. (某人感兴趣某物)
例句:The quality of your products is quite satisfactory to us. (贵方产品的品质令我方非常满意。)

B. The product is of satisfaction to us.

D. The price satisfy the company.
【答案】B
【解析】选项B "The product is of satisfaction to us." 主语是 "the product"(某物),宾语是 "us"(某人),表达了某物令某人满意。选项A主语是服务,对象是员工,不符。选项C虽然用了 "satisfied",但对象是交货时间,不是产品本身。选项D语法错误,应为 "satisfies" 且对象是公司,不是人。
【要点】考查 "sth. be of satisfaction to sb." 结构在表达满意度时的运用。

A. Your proposal is interesting to us.

D. We satisfy with your proposal.
【答案】C
【解析】选项C "Your proposal is satisfactory to us." 直接使用了核心句型 "sth. be satisfactory to sb.",明确表达了“我们对你方的提议感到满意”。选项A和 B 表达的是“感兴趣”,程度较轻。选项D语法错误,应为 "We are satisfied with..."。
【要点】考查核心句型 "sth. be satisfactory to sb." 在商务沟通中表示接受或满意的应用。
2.(单项选择题) After receiving the final report, the team leader stated, "________." This implies the report met the required standards.( )

【要点】考查 "sth. be of satisfaction to sb." 结构在上下文中表示达到标准或满足要求的含义。
3.(判断题) The phrase "The new office layout satisfies everyone" is grammatically correct and effectively conveys universal satisfaction.( )
【答案】√
【要点】考查 "sth. satisfy sb." 结构的语法正确性及其在表达普遍满意度时的有效性。
1.(判断题) If a customer says, "The quality of the product is quite satisfactory to me," it implies they are merely interested in the product, not fully satisfied.( )
【答案】×
【解析】句子 "The quality of the product is quite satisfactory to me" 使用了核心句型 "sth. be satisfactory to sb.",并且有程度副词 "quite" 加强语气,明确表达了“我对产品的质量相当满意”。这表示的是满意,而非仅仅是兴趣。表达兴趣应使用 "be of interest to" 或 "be interested in"。
【要点】考查区分 "sth. be satisfactory to sb."(满意)和 "sth. be of interest to sb."(感兴趣)在含义上的不同。
2.(填空题) The customer service representative replied, "We have reviewed your feedback. The suggestions you provided ________ ________ us and we will consider them carefully."

【要点】考查在具体语境中运用 "sth. be of satisfaction to sb." 或 "sth. satisfy sb." 结构表达满意度。
3.(填空题) The manager was very pleased with the team's performance. He stated publicly, "________ ________ the excellent results achieved by the team."
【答案】We are satisfied with / The excellent results are satisfactory to us
【解析】根据句意“经理对团队的表现非常满意。他公开表示:“我们对团队取得的优异成绩感到非常满意。””。需要填入表达满意度的句子。可以使用核心句型 "sb. be satisfied with sth.",即 "We are satisfied with the excellent results achieved by the team.";或者使用核心句型 "sth. be satisfactory to sb.",即 "The excellent results are satisfactory to us."。两者都准确表达了满意之情。
【要点】考查在具体语境中运用核心句型 "sb. be satisfied with sth." 或 "sth. be satisfactory to sb." 结构表达对某事的满意。
· 表达满意度时,常用核心句型是“sth. be satisfactory to sb.”或“sb. be satisfied with sth.”。
· “sth. be of satisfaction to sb.”也是一种表达某物令某人满意的类似说法。
