They're both correct, but different. 如果A对B感兴趣, A就很interested, 而且B很interesting.

我想这里你想表述的,是interested与interesting作形容词时的区别,是吗? 很显然,你想表达某人令你感兴趣,这个感兴趣是由于别人的出现而拥有的,应该用 someone interesting 而事实中也没有someone interested这种用法, 只有当interested作动词时,有词组someone interested in sth. 某人对某事感兴趣 你可能会感到疑惑,因为其他人可能告诉你interested修饰人,interesting修饰物,但这种说法是为了应试,并且大错特错。 事实上他们的区别是一种主动和被动的关系,并且这一法则一般可以运用于所有通过-ed和-ing结尾来区分的形容词,如excited和exciting等。以下为详解(interesting/interested): interesting是"主动"形容词,即用于修饰人或事物本身,以外界的视角来观察被修饰对象,强调的是某人或者某物令你有了兴趣,而不是你从一开始就对这样事物有兴趣。 EX:It is interesting for me.这令我感兴趣 interested是"被动"形容词,即表示人或事物被赋予的意义,强调的是你本身就对某人或某物有兴趣,是“你对什么有兴趣”而不是“什么使你有兴趣” EX:It makes me feel interested. 它使我感到有兴趣。 可见-ing结尾可以修饰人,并不是只能修饰物。

It depends.... I met someone interesting today. Today, I met someone interested in going to the party with me.
