◆这部电影给千百万人以莫大的快乐。误:The film gives great delights to millions ofpeople.正:The film gives great delight to millions ofpeople.析:delight 用作名词时,根据情况可以可数也可以不可数,其区别是:表示具体意义的“乐事”,为可数名词,表示抽象意义 的“快乐”,为不可数名词。比较:Raising flowers isagreat delight.(养花是件很快乐的事)。◆我高兴地拜读了你的来信。误:I have read your letter with my delight.正:I have read your letter with delight.析:with delight(高兴地)是习语,其中不可加入限定语,但有时可插入形容词,如:with real delight(十分高兴地),withgreat delight(十分高兴地)等。◆现在许多人都喜欢看电视。误:Now many people take delight to watch TV.正:Now many people take delight in watching TV.析:take delight in (doing) sth 是 delight用作名词时的一个常用句型,注意后接 in (doing) sth,不用不定式。◆使他大为高兴的是, 他的小说被接受出版了。误:On his delight his novel was accepted for publication.正:To his delight his novel was accepted for publication.析:to one"s delight(使某人高兴是)是习语,注意用介词to,类例:to one"s joy(使某人高兴的是),toone"s surprise(使某人吃惊的是)等。
◆他喜欢挑别人的毛病。误:He is delighted in finding fault with others.正:He delights in finding fault with others.析:delight用作不及物动词时,其后通常接 in (doing) sth,表示喜欢做某事。注意:此时 delight不能用被动形式,因为它是不及物动词。◆见到你我真高兴。误:I"m really delighted in seeing you.正:I"m really delighted to see you.析:要注意 delight 用作及物或不及物动词时在结构上的差别: 用作及物动词的delight 在用于 bedelighted结构时,其后根据情况可接不定式,介词短语(at, by, with等)和从句等,但 是不能接介词 in 引出的短语(而用作不及物动词的 delight后通常接介词 in)。如:He was very much delighted withtheresult.(他对结果十分满意),They were delighted at[by] the news.(听到这消息他们很高兴),I wasdelightedthat you were successful.(你成功了我很高兴)。◆那确实是一次令人愉快的聚会。误:It is really a delightfed party.正:It is really a delightful party.析:delighted 表示“感到高兴的”,delightful表示“使人高兴的”。注:表示后者的意思不能用delighting(此词在现代英语几乎不用)。
