(1) pleased意為“感到高興的”。
【辨析】pleased；pleasant；pleasing；pleasure
pleased 表示某人感到高興或滿意。教育博客
pleasant 說明某事令人高興，側重外界作用；指人時，表示討人喜歡。教育博客
pleasing 表示討好的，取悅于人的，強調主觀作用。
pleasure 是名詞，意為“快樂，愉快”。
① are you pleased with his answer? 你對他的回答滿意嗎? ② i hope you'll have a pleasant holiday. 希望你過一個愉快的假期。③ he is a very pleasant person. 他很討人喜歡。④ he tried to be pleasing, but no one would talk to him. 他竭力討好，但誰也不愿和他說話。⑤ reading gives me great pleasure. 讀書帶給我很大的快樂。
(2) in a way that ordinary people could understand 中的that引起定語從句, 并在從句中作賓語, 可以換成which，但不能換成in which。如: ① this is the way that really works. 這才是真正管用的辦法。② you can do the experiment in the way that he told you. 你可以用他告訴你的方法做這個實驗。教育博客
【比較】i don't like the way he speaks to me. 我不喜歡他跟我說話的方式。(way后省略了that或in which，它們在從句中作狀語)
