1.sympathy用作“同情”解后面通常接with,偶尔接for,with或for后面接指人的词或指感觉的词都可以。例如:I have every sympathy with(或for)him in his love of country life. 和I have every sympathy with(或for)his love of country life. 用作“哀怜”解后面接for比接with普通,如my sympathy for him on the death of his father和my sympathy for his misfortune比my sympathy with him on the death of his father和my sympathy with his misfortune普通。

- This appeals to my sympathies.
- My sympathies are with him.
- He has my sympathies。
- His political sympathies are clearly shown in his writings.
