请就此题分析一下 enjoy 的用法。

英语里有一些动词,如 prefer, love, hate, start, continue, propose, cease, begin 等,既可与动词不定式连用,也可与动名词连用。英语里还有一些动词,如 try, forget, regret, stop, remember 等,与动词不定式连用跟与动名词连用,意义是有区别的。英语里还有一类动词,如:avoid, deny, enjoy 等则只能跟动名词、代词或名词连用。属于此类动词的还有 confess, consider, escape, can't help, quit, resume, appreciate, finish, repent 等:

  1. I enjoy songs such as this one. (Hill) 我喜欢这类歌。

  2. Most students enjoy asking questions in English. (AOT) 大多数学生喜欢用英文提问题。

  3. I've enjoyed seeing you and talking about old times. (ALD) 我能和你见面叙旧,感到非常快乐。

WB: Yes, I'll start work at the Farm Institute next month. I'm looking forward to that. My only regret is that it's quite a long way from all my friends.

CARL: All the same, I expect you'll enjoy coming into town now and again. [《高中英语教科书》(选修)第三册(上),人民教育出版社,1998,p.19]

[原译1] 王彬:……

卡尔:……尽管如此,我还是盼望你常来城里。[《“高中英语教科书”背景知识与重难点讲解》,第三册(上),教育科学出版社、人民教育出版社,1998,p.76]

[原译2]卡尔:我也是,我希望你经常来城里走走。(《中学英语1+1·高三英语同步讲解与测试》,中国青年出版社,1998,p.48)

[原译3] CARL: 我同样期待你经常进城。[《英文课文翻译及解疑》(高中三年级), 宇航出版社, 1999, p. 35]

[原译4] 我也有同感, 我希望你时不时到镇上来玩得开心。[《课文英汉对照译注》(高中第三册·上), 广西师大出版社, 1998, p.72]

上面的译文似乎都没有把enjoy的含义译出来。这符合原意吗?

由于上面的译者们忽略了 enjoy 的含义,结果把整个句子的意思都弄扭了,因而使两个人的对话失掉了内在的逻辑联系。enjoy sth.enjoy doing sth. 是指“喜欢”“从……之中得到乐趣”“享受……之乐”(to get pleasure from sth.)

  1. enjoy life 享受人生之乐

  2. Did you enjoy your holiday? (LDCE) 你假期过得愉快吗?

  3. He was a guy who enjoyed life to the full... (CCLD) 他是一个充分享受了人生乐趣的人……

  4. I want to travel because I enjoy meeting people and seeing new places. (CIDE) 我想去旅游,因为我乐意与人们相会并参观新的地方。

理解了 enjoy 的含义,再去分析上面的对话情景,就豁然开朗了:王彬说他唯一的遗憾是他去农学院上班后离朋友们太远了。卡尔安慰他说,去农学院上班虽然离朋友们远了,但是他却可以享受到不时进城的乐趣(此所谓有一弊必有一利也)。

[试译]王彬:……

卡尔:不过,我认为你会享受到不时进城的乐趣的。
