用法說明
How is "Delightful" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Delightful"?
delightful doing vs delightful to do
- "delightful doing" 強調的是某個活動或行為本身，作為一種持續的狀態或過程，是令人愉悅的。
- "delightful to do" 則強調從某人的角度來看，執行某個特定動作或完成某件事的體驗是令人愉悅的，常帶有「對...來說」的意味。
- 兩者意思相近，但語感略有不同。前者描述活動性質，後者更側重個人感受與動作的完成。
- 在形容事物（而非活動）時，通常使用 "delightful to + 感官動詞"，如 "delightful to see/watch/hear"。 EN: The children's laughter was delightful to hear. 翻譯: 孩子們的笑聲聽起來真令人愉悅。
EN:Listening to the children's laughter was a delightful experience.
翻譯:聆聽孩子們的笑聲是一段愉快的體驗。
總結建議
一般情況下，描述事物帶給人的感受多用 "delightful to + V"，而將活動本身視為名詞時則用 "delightful doing"。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Delightful"?Which "Delightful" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I felt a delightful when I saw the puppy.
✓I felt delight when I saw the puppy.
"Delightful" 是形容詞，意思是「令人愉快的」，用來描述事物。要表達「喜悅」這種感覺或情緒，應使用名詞 "delight"。
×I am delightful to meet you.
✓I am delighted to meet you.
"Delightful" 描述的是「令人感到愉快的人或事物」。當主語是人，且要表達「（某人）感到高興」時，應使用過去分詞 "delighted" 作為形容詞。
×The pizza was delightful. (in a casual conversation about fast food)
✓The pizza was really good / delicious.
"Delightful" 帶有較正式、優雅或強烈讚美的語感，通常用於描述特別美好、精緻或令人驚喜的體驗。在描述日常、普通的事物（如速食）時，使用 "good", "nice", "delicious" 等詞會更自然。
×The weather was not delightful at all.
✓The weather was unpleasant / terrible.
"Delightful" 是一個語意強烈的正面形容詞，通常不用在否定句中來表達單純的「不愉快」。否定結構 "not delightful" 聽起來不自然且彆扭。應直接使用意義相反的形容詞，如 "unpleasant", "disappointing", "terrible"。
×It was a delightful to watch movie.
✓It was a delightful movie to watch.
在「a + 形容詞 + 名詞 + to + 動詞」的結構中，形容詞（delightful）必須直接放在它所修飾的名詞（movie）前面。將形容詞放在不定詞 "to watch" 前面是錯誤的語序。
