satisfied 와 pleased 차이

satisfied 와 pleased 차이

 

 

직장에서 상사가 아래 문장과 같이 칭찬을 했다면 어떤 문장이 더 칭찬을 한 걸까요? 

I'm satisfied with your work.
I'm pleased with your work.  

 

The word “satisfied” means that someone is content with something, but feels that it could be better.  

The word “pleased” means that someone is happy with something and probably doesn’t think it could be better.  

Therefore “pleased” is much more positive than “satisfied”.  

 

For example:
I’m satisfied with your work so far, but I think you can do an even better job if you try harder.

(지금까지 자네가 한 일에 대해 만족하지만 좀 더 열심히 하면 더 잘할 수 있다고 봐)
My boss told me he’s very pleased with my work on the ABC project. That made me feel really good.

(내 상사가 ABC 프로젝트에서 한 내 일에 매우 만족스러워 했어. 그래서 난 너무 기분 좋아)
I wouldn’t say I was pleased with the presentation, but I was satisfied with it.

(프리젠테이션을 아주 잘했다곤 할 순 없지만 만족스럽네)
A: I hope my dad was satisfied with the present I bought him for his birthday.
B: He told me he was more than satisfied with it. In fact, he was very pleased.
