happy, cheerful, glad, joyful

这组词都有“高兴”的意思。其区别是:

1.happy指心情舒畅、事事顺利或对他人表示良好祝愿时的幸福、愉快心情，可指一般的高兴; cheerful指表露出来的欢悦，是乐观天性的自然流露，特别是在令人不快的情况下仍保持欣悦的心情; joyful程度最强，指心情极好或得到了强烈的满足。例如:

She felt joyful at the prospect of seeing him at last.她为终将看到他而感到欣喜。

He always seems cheerful even in defeat.他总是高高兴兴，即使输了也这样。

2.happy和glad都含有“快乐的”的意思, happy常指因某一特定的事或原因而“快乐”,且一般只作表语。

3.happy有“幸福”之义，而glad没有此义。例如:

He is always happy to help others.

他常乐于助人。

He's very glad about the news.

听到这消息他非常高兴。

4.cheerful后接动词不定式有时还可表示“令人愉快的”。
