  2. 表示一篇文章或一本书的“内容”应用content

      这篇论文在格式和内容上都很优秀。
  3. contents noted (来信的内容已经被注意了)和contents duly noted是商业信函里的陈套语,避免在一般通信中出现;
  4. contents表示“目录”时,跟table of content有一样的意思;
  5. content作形容词时和contented都指“知足的”,要注意:
    content是表语形容词,不用在定语用法里。如绝不可说He is a content man ,该说He is a contented man。
    content在表语用法中强调“无所它求”的意思,而contented强调“被使满足”的意思,是动词content的过去分词。
    content后接不定式时,指“因为别无它法而愿意……”,而contented不常用于这种结构。
    • I should be content to remain where I am.
    I must content myself with answering only part of your questions 里的with不可改作by;
  6. to one's heart's content为固定词组,意思是“尽情地做某事”。
