我很抱歉要指出樓上的回答者沒有一位說到重點.

easy這個字作為「容易」之意時, 是用來修飾事物, 不是用來修飾人的.

以下二句結構很相似, 但一個正確一個錯誤

1) He is easy to get along with. (O) 他這人很好相處.

= To get along with him is easy.(O)

easy是修飾to get along with這件事; He表面是主詞, 意思上是受詞.

2) He is easy to get angry. (X)

→ He can easily get angry. (O) = He is easily angry. (O) 他很容易生氣.

→ He tends to get angry easily. (O) 他動不動就發脾氣.

easy要改為副詞easily來修飾動作get angry或形容詞angry.

再舉一個例子:

We are easy to find a job in the city where economy is well developed. (X)

It is easy to find a job in the city where economy is well developed. (O)

在經濟發展完善的城市找工作比較容易。

Easy(容易之意)指的應該是找工作 (to find a job)，不是我們(we)。

同樣的, 我們可以說: It is easy for us to find information on the internet.

或To find information on the internet is easy.

卻不可以說: We are easy to find information on the internet. (X)

easy這個字用來修飾人時, 意思是「安逸; 從容自在; 隨和」, 例如:

He is easy in conversation and graceful in manner. 他談吐從容, 舉止優雅。

I am easy about where to have dinner. 到哪裡吃晚飯，我都無所謂。

看到004回答總算是看到黑洞的那道光！

每次在英文版總是有一些自以為是英文達人，其實錯到離譜，真讓人想問這些亂七八糟答案提供者的英文是哪裡學來的？（內心謎之音：some bars?)

Answer 3

容易生氣

Alternately, you can use "quick-tempered", or "hot-tempered", or "bad-tempered". E.g., he has a quick temper.

Answer 4

兩種都可以

he is easy to get angry

=他很容易變得很生氣

he tends to get angry easily

=他容易地變得很生氣
