用法辨析
- pleasure的基本意思是“愉快,快樂,滿足”,指某事使人在感情上得到滿足或愉快,也可指使人快樂的各種活動(dòng),即“娛樂,消遣”; 還可指能夠使人感到快樂或高興的事,即“快樂的事,樂事”。用于物主代詞之后, pleasure還可指“意愿”。
- pleasure多用作不可數(shù)名詞,當(dāng)作“快樂的事,樂事”解時(shí)用作可數(shù)名詞。
- pleasure有特指含義時(shí)其前要加定冠詞the,而泛指時(shí)其前不用定冠詞the。
- the pleasure (of)??捎米鞅硎尽皹s幸,光彩”等客套話。pleasure還可用于回答感謝的客套答語,表示“方便而樂意做的事”。
- pleasure作“意愿”解時(shí),常用于it's sb's pleasure to- v 或it's sb's pleasure that...結(jié)構(gòu), that從句中的謂語動(dòng)詞一般用虛擬語氣。
- pleasure后可接不同的介詞,如in,of,to等,前面兩個(gè)后加動(dòng)名詞,第三個(gè)是to的不定式;
- 注意可以說take (a) pleasure in,其中a可省略,表示一樣的意思,但是不可說take one's pleasure;
- pleasure較為客氣的表達(dá)方式:Will you do me the pleasure of dining with me? 我有這個(gè)榮幸請(qǐng)你一起吃飯嗎?
n. (名詞)
