名词pleasure用法面面观
1. 表示一般意义的愉快高兴快乐等,是不可数名词;表示具体的乐事快事等,是可数名词。比较:
同你谈话(我们)很愉快。
正:It gives us much pleasure to talk with you.
正:It is a pleasure to talk with you.
2. 其后一般不接不定式,但可接of doing sth,但此时的pleasure前一般有定冠词。如:
May we have the pleasure of your company for lunch? 请和我们共进午餐好吗?
Theres nothing to compare with the pleasure of being with you. 跟你在一起是无比的愉快。
有时也后接in doing sth,但此时的pleasure前通常不用冠词。如:
He takes great pleasure in teaching children. 他很喜欢教小孩。
Children find endless pleasure in playing with water. 小孩子从玩水中可以找到无穷的乐趣。
注意下面这样的句子,句首的it为形式主语,其后后通常可接不定式(用作句子真正主语)。如:
It gives me great pleasure to grow flowers. 种花给很大的乐趣。
3. 注意:下面两句从语法结构上看是一样的,但是从交际角度上看,第二句不可接受的:
正:May I have the pleasure of dancing with you? 我可以和你跳舞吗?
误:Will you have the pleasure of dancing with me?
4. 比较 my pleasure和 with pleasure:前者用来回答感谢,意为不用谢后者用来答应对方的请求或邀请等,意为可以没问题。如:

B:My pleasure. 别客气。
