  2. content表示“内容”时用单数和复数的意思不同,用复数表示具体的内容,而用单数则表示与形式相对应比较抽象的“要旨,内含”; 在表示“含量,容量”时只能用单数; 表示“所容纳之物,所含之物”时多用复数。
v. (动词)
  1. content的基本意思是“使满足,使满意”,指做一些让人高兴的事情,以使他人感到满足,其宾语多为人。
  2. content主要用作及物动词,后接名词或代词作宾语。
  3. content常用于content oneself with结构,表示“满足于…”。
  4. content的过去分词contented可用作形容词,在句中作定语。

  2. content是不可数名词,常用于to one's heart's content短语,表示“尽情地”。
adj. (形容词)
  1. content作形容词时意思是“愿意和渴望得到满足的”,这种满足的程度不一定是完全彻底的,但人已不必再为此或为彼而心烦意乱了。

  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 must content myself with answering only part of your questions 里的with不可改作by;

    I should be content to remain where I am.
