指达到期望或标准，与disappointing相反
让人感到积极和希望，与令人失望相反
让人感到满意或高兴，与失望相对
两者常被混用：disappointing 形容事物“令人失望”，disappointed 形容人“感到失望”。说人心情低落用 disappointed，说事情、结果糟糕用 disappointing，如 a disappointed look（人失望的表情）与 a disappointing result（令人失望的结果）。
两者都可表示“未达期望”，但 unsatisfactory 更正式、偏客观评价，多用于工作、成绩、条件等，不强调情绪；disappointing 则突出期望落空引起的失望感。正式报告、官方评语多用 unsatisfactory，个人感受多用 disappointing。
frustrating 强调因受阻、努力得不到回报而令人烦躁恼怒；disappointing 只强调期望落空带来的失落，不含“受阻”之意。同一件事有时两词都可用，只是侧重点不同：反复失败更宜说 frustrating，结果不如预期更宜说 disappointing。
