答: 弄清两个形容词意义的区别就不难理解了, interesting和interested是我们最熟悉的: interesting是指事物本身 “有趣的”; 而interested是指人对事物 :感兴趣的”. 同样的. disappointing是指事物本身让人 “失望的”; disappointed是指人对事物 “感到失望的”. frightening和frightened的区别也一样：frightening是指事物 “令人害怕的”，frightened是指人对事物 “感到害怕、恐惧”。.
这两个句子可翻译成：
（1）她脸上失望的表情表明她对这件事感到失望。
（2）他的表情令人害怕， 没人敢*近他。
