2 content in还是content with
Did Nielsen then feel content in his career? Yes and no. He was thrilled to be doing
the comedy that he always felt he should do, but even during his last few
years, he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering what new role or challenge
might be just around the corner. He never stopped working, never retired.
上面一段出自2021年高考英语浙江卷的阅读理解A。为什么用的是 content in，查所有的词典用的都是 content with 啊！是用错了吧！
最佳答案 2021-07-05 07:25
确实，content 用作形容词表示“满意的”时，其后通常是接介词 with 来表示“对……满意”。如：
Are you content with your present salary? 你对你现在的薪水满意吗?
She’s very content with what she has. 她对自己有的感到心满意足。
He professed to be content with the arrangement. 他表示对该安排满意。
Marshall was not content with the draft of the contract. 马歇尔对合同草案不满意。
Polls show that voters are growing less and less content with the current administration. 民意调查显示，选民对本届政府越来越不满意。
但我觉得2021年高考英语浙江卷阅读理解A中的这个句子也不算错，因为这里的 in 可以理解为“在……中”，in his career 指“在他的职业生涯中”：
Did Nielsen then feel content in his career?
=尼尔森在自己的职业生涯中感到满意吗？
=尼尔森对自己的职业生涯感到满意吗？
当然，这里若改用 with 也完全可以：
Did Nielsen then feel content with his career?
尼尔森对自己的职业生涯感到满意吗?
