词语用法

3. 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？

4. have the pleasure of doing同it is a pleasure to do均表达很高兴去做某事。

n. (名词)

1. 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”。
2. 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。
3. 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。
4. 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”。
5. 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。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

do the pleasure, have the pleasure

• 这两个短语都可用来表示向人请求,并且都用于疑问结构。两者的区别是:have the pleasure是从自己着想,而do the pleasure则是从对方着想。试比较:
• My I have the pleasure of dancing with you?
• 我能同你跳个舞吗?
• Will you do the pleasure of dancing with me?
• 你能同我跳个舞吗?

pleasure, delight, joy

• 这三个词的共同意思是“愉快”或“高兴”。其区别是：
• 1.delight指“喜悦”或“高兴”,多表示突然、短暂的喜悦; pleasure指“愉快”,是一般交际性的礼貌用语,还可指外界对头脑或感官刺激而引起的快感; joy指“欢乐”或“愉快”,有时可替代delight和pleasure。例如:
• She grinned her delight.她露齿一笑表示高兴。
• I have the pleasure of presenting our opening speaker.我很荣幸地介绍一下我们的开场发言人。
• A smile often denotes pleasure.微笑常常是愉快的表示。
• This afforded him great joy〔pleasure〕.这使他感到快乐。
• 2.joy在程度上比pleasure强; delight语气上要比pleasure更强。

下面两句意思略有不同:

• It is a pleasure to hear of your presence.
• 听到你光临真是高兴。
• It gave us pleasure to hear of your presence.
• 听到你光临,真叫我们高兴。

下面两句意思相同:

• I have the pleasure of meeting you here.
• I have pleasure in meeting you here.
• 在这里碰到你我感到很高兴。

下面两个短语意思不同:

• at one's pleasure 随便
• with pleasure 欣然,乐意

pleasure，delight，rapture，enjoyment，joy，fun

• 这些名词均含“愉快、快乐、高兴”之意。
• pleasure最普通常用词，常指不表露出来的满意或喜悦情绪，也指强烈的愉快或兴奋感。
• delight指强烈的、活泼的、显而易见的快乐和高兴。
• rapture书面语用词，指极端的欣喜、大喜或狂喜。
• enjoyment比pleasure, joy和delight的语气轻，但更着重行为或乐事的本身，而不是感情。
• joy语气弱于rapture，强于pleasure，多指情感充溢，喜形于色的强烈的欢乐情绪。
• fun普通用词，指任何能给予喜悦的娱乐，或指娱乐本身。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 收到你的邀请我很高兴。

   误 It gives me many pleasures to receive your invitation.

   正 It gives me much pleasure to receive your invitation.

   析 pleasure表示“愉快,高兴”,是不可数名词,没有复数形式,不能用many修饰,应改为much。

2. 帮助你是件乐事。

   误 It's pleasure to help you.

   正 It's a pleasure to help you.

3. 有些老年人生活的乐趣很少。

   误 Some old people have very few pleasure in life.

   正 Some old people have very few pleasures in life.

   析 当pleasure表示“乐事,乐趣”时,为可数名词,可以有复数形式,也可加不定冠词。
