用法讲解
- delight的基本意思是“使快乐”,强调感情的外在反应不仅有明显的迹象生动地表现出来,而且能让人热切地感觉到。
- delight既可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时,一般接表人的名词作宾语,有时也可接人身体上的某个部位作宾语。delight可用于主动结构,但更常用于系表结构,其后可接介词at, by, with,动词不定式或that从句。这往往用在客套话里,指一时的情形。
- delight用作不及物动词时,常接由介词in引导的短语或动词不定式,指习惯或持续性的“喜欢(做某事)”“(因某事而)高兴”。
- delight用作名词的基本意思是“快乐,高兴”,是不可数名词; 表示具体的“使人高兴的东西或人”时是可数名词。
- delight在句中可用作主语、宾语或表语。用作表语时,如果主语为动词不定式,则往往用it充当形式主语放在句首,而把真正的主语放在最后。动词不定式如另有其逻辑主体,则可用介词for引出。
- 下面各句意思上有差别:
-
- He was delighted to find that book.
- 他很高兴找到了那本书。
- He delights to read novels.
- 他喜欢看小说。
- He seems to delight in (reading) novels.
- 他似乎喜欢看小说。
- delight, joy, pleasure
-
- 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。
- 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。
