please interj. & v.

1. 用作感叹词,表示“请”,用于客气的请求或吩咐,可用于祈使句、疑问句以及名词词组等。如:

Tickets, please. 请把票拿出来。

Please don’t touch it. 请不要摸它。

Please may I come in? 请问我可以进来吗?

What’s your name, please? 请问你叫什么名字?

请把那本书给我好吗?

正:Will you please give me that book?

正:Will you give me that book, please?

正:Please will you give me that book?

2. 用作动词,表示“使人高兴或满意”,是及物动词。如:

One can’t please everybody. 一人难合百人意。

Our main aim is to please the customers. 我们的目的是要让顾客满意。

3. 不要一概将汉语的“请”译为 please。如:

我请他留下,但他不愿留下。

误:I pleased him to stay, but he wouldn’t.

正:I asked him to stay, but he wouldn’t.

我打算请几个朋友吃饭。

误:I’m going to please some friends to dinner.

正:I’m going to invite some friends to dinner.

最后我们决定去请医生。

误:At last we decided to please a doctor.

正:At last we decided to send for a doctor.

 

pleasure n.

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+动名词”(此时 pleasure前一般有定冠词)或“in+动名词”(此时 pleasure前通常不用冠词)。如:

When may I have the pleasure of seeing you again? 什么时候我能有幸再见到你?

He takes great pleasure in teaching children. 他很喜欢教小孩。

注:当句首有形式主语 it 时,pleasure 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:

A:Thank you for helping me. 谢谢你帮了我。

B:My pleasure. 别客气。(www.hxen.net)

A:Will you lend me the book? 这本书你借给我好吗?

B:With pleasure. 可以。

注:回答感谢,除可用 my pleasure 外,还可用:(It’s) a pleasure. /(It’s) my pleasure. /Pleasure was all mine. 等。
