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,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”。用於物主代詞之後, pleasure還可指“意願”。
- pleasure多用作不可數名詞,儅作“快樂的事,樂事”解時用作可數名詞。
- pleasure有特指含義時其前要加定冠詞the,而泛指時其前不用定冠詞the。
- the pleasure (of)常可用作表示“榮幸,光彩”等客套話。pleasure還可用於廻答感謝的客套答語,表示“方便而樂意做的事”。
- pleasure作“意願”解時,常用於it's sb's pleasure to- v 或it's sb's pleasure that...結搆, that從句中的謂語動詞一般用虛擬語氣。
- pleasure後可接不同的介詞,如in,of,to等,前麪兩個後加動名詞,第三個是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較爲客氣的表達方式:Will you do me the pleasure of dining with me? 我有這個榮幸請你一起喫飯嗎?
n. (名詞)
