問：某機構來信，說他們的Yes青年計劃，舉辦多年，十分成功，並會繼續。我們回信，以下一句那個寫法較好？──We are glad / pleased to learn that the Yes scheme is / has been very successful（敬悉Yes計劃十分成功，至感欣忭）。
答：Glad和pleased都是「欣喜」的意思，沒有什麼分別，例如初次和人相識，要說「幸會」，英文用pleased或glad都可以：I'm pleased / glad to meet you。至於讀者示下那一句的動詞，要表示「多年來都很成功」，宜用現在完成式，即has been very successful。假如只是說目前情況，才用現在式is，例如：The scheme ran into all manner of problems in the first few years, but now it is very successful（最初幾年，這計劃遇上各種困難，但現在十分成功）。
問：He is of the opinion that這說法，可不可改為He has the opinion that？
答：說「某人認為」，英文一般用Someone is of (the) opinion that或It is someone's opinion that表達，很少說Someone has the opinion that，例如：He is of (the) opinion / It is his opinion that wealth is not always the outcome of wisdom or hard work（他認為，財富不一定是智慧或努力換取的）。當然，文法上，這一句也可改為He has the opinion that wealth...，但have和opinion多用於以下句式：I have a good / high / bad / low opinion of him（我對他的印象很好／很差）。
