用法辨析
- pleasure的基本意思是“愉快,快乐,满足”,指某事使人在感情上得到满足或愉快,也可指使人快乐的各种活动,即“娱乐,消遣”; 还可指能够使人感到快乐或高兴的事,即“快乐的事,乐事”。用于物主代词之后, pleasure还可指“意愿”。
- pleasure多用作不可数名词,当作“快乐的事,乐事”解时用作可数名词。
- pleasure有特指含义时其前要加定冠词the,而泛指时其前不用定冠词the。
- the pleasure (of)常可用作表示“荣幸,光彩”等客套话。pleasure还可用于回答感谢的客套答语,表示“方便而乐意做的事”。
- pleasure作“意愿”解时,常用于it's sb's pleasure to- v 或it's sb's pleasure that...结构, that从句中的谓语动词一般用虚拟语气。
- pleasure后可接不同的介词,如in,of,to等,前面两个后加动名词,第三个是to的不定式;
- 注意可以说take (a) pleasure in,其中a可省略,表示一样的意思,但是不可说take one's pleasure;
- pleasure较为客气的表达方式:Will you do me the pleasure of dining with me? 我有这个荣幸请你一起吃饭吗?
n. (名词)
