满意和满足都是对某种事物或行为的肯定。两个词属于近义词。 但是两者的区别在于程度(degree)上。满意比起满足来就显得更加的严格，要求更高。 比如： （小张这次数学考试又得了100分，老师很满意。） （如果你能考70分，我就觉得很满足了） 对比一下两个例句可看出，在要求的程度上有着明显的区别。前者是几乎要达到老师或者是某人要求的标准甚至是超过这个标准。而后者则是一种期望，这种期望是建立在并不抱多大的希望的基础之上的。只要能说的过去，或者是接近、达到某个最低的标准即可的。 满意：be pleased;be satisfied。 意愿得到满足;符合心愿 满足：satisfied;content，对已得到的感到足够了 satisfy;meet with;answer，完全满意于一项欲望、渴念、需要或者要求的实现 满足好奇心

我对目前的工作很满意。（正如所希望的那样，相当于“很好”） 我对目前的工作很满足。（尽管还是没有达到所希望的程度，但是可以接受，相当于“还行”。）
