enjoy: 一个词义模糊的动词

第四，enjoy的主语一般为“人”，但也可以为“物”。这时，enjoy的意思是“有，拥有，享有”之意。以下例句，enjoy的上述意思不必译出，真是“只可体味，不可言传”。例如：

That book enjoyed large sales.那本书的销量很大。

Speaking of Weifang City, it enjoys a reputation of “World Capital of Kites.” 提起潍坊市，素有世界风筝都之美誉。

Folk music is currently enjoying a renaissance.民间音乐现在又时兴起来了。

The oil market is enjoying a boom.石油市场欣欣向荣。

The auto fair held at Jinbao Weifang enjoyed a boom rarely seen in the last few month.在潍坊金宝举行的这次汽车展销会，出现了几个月来车市难见的火爆态势。

With numerous narrow waterways covering the town, Suzhou enjoys a fame as the “Oriental Venice”.苏州城内因水道遍布，而享有“东方威尼斯”之美誉。

Her music enjoyed a short currency. 她的音乐盛行了很短一阵子。

一般来说，enjoy作为及物动词，后面总是会带一个宾语；可以接名词，代词，反身代词或动名词，可用于被动结构。但不能接不定式或宾语从句。　　

但是，有时候enjoy的两种基本意思不一定翻译出来。只需要根据句子的意思，灵活处理。例如：

We all enjoyed a turn in the park before dinner.我们晚饭之前在公园兜了一圈，大家都感到很愉快。　　

I've never enjoyed a dance so much.我从来没有跳舞跳得这么高兴过。
