pleasure 的用法及固定搭配

pleasure

1.注意下面几句的结构:

  • I have the pleasure of sending you my photograph.
  • I have pleasure in sending you my photograph.
  • I have the pleasure to send you my photograph.
  • I have pleasure to send you my photograph.
  • I take pleasure in sending you my photograph.
  • I take pleasure to send you my photograph.
  • I take a pleasure in sending you my photograph.
  • It is a pleasure (to me或for me) to send you my photograph.
  • It gives me pleasure to send you my photograph.
  • It is my pleasure to send you my photograph.

第一句里有the,用of。第二句里没有the,用in。第三句和第四句都不很普通。第五句里没有a或the。第五句、第六句和第七句都不很普通。第八句里有a。第九句里用gives,没有a。第十句照字面讲作“把我的照片送给你是我的意志”解,就是说“我一定要把我的照片送给你”,语气傲慢,所以不该说。不过英美人往往这样说,当作客气话。

2.从1里的第五句和第七句看来,take pleasure in和take a pleasure in都可以说。注意不可说take my(或your等)pleasure in。

3.Will you do me(或us)the pleasure of dining with me(或us)?等是客气话,决不可说I(或We)shall do you the pleasure of dining with you。May I have the pleasure of dancing with you?等也是客气话,决不可说Will you have the pleasure of dancing with me?但可以说Will you do me the pleasure of dancing with me?
