disappointed in和disappointed at的区别

1个回答

  • 首先都是表示失望 (someone/ something is not as good as you expeted).

    1.One very relevant quote from the M-W Dictionary of English Usage:

    "When disappointed is used with a preposition in contemporary writing,it may take any one of several prepositions:about,at,by,in,over or with.At one time,disappointed of was common,but during the 20th century,disappointed in has become the most prevalent usage."

    2.

    This is an abstract from Longman Contemporary Dictionary and I think it's clear enough:

    Disappointed:

    unhappy because something you hoped for did not happen,or because someone or something was not as good as you expected:

    E.g:Dad seemed more disappointed than angry.disappointed customers

    Disappointed at/with/about

    E.g:Local residents were disappointed with the decision.

    disappointed (that)

    E.g:I was disappointed that we played so well yet still lost.

    disappointed in

    E.g:I’m very disappointed in you.

    disappointed to hear/see/find etc

    E.g:Visitors were disappointed to find the museum closed.
