用法說明
How is "Happiness" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Happiness"?
happiness of doing vs happiness to do
- happiness of doing 通常用於描述從某個持續的活動或狀態中獲得的幸福感，強調的是過程或伴隨的狀態。
- happiness to do 則常用於表達因某個具體事件、機會或行動而感到高興，特別是當它作為形容詞補語時，例如
I am happy to...。 - 雖然兩者有時可互換，但 happiness of doing 感覺更抽象、更哲學性，而 happiness to do 則更直接、更針對特定場合。 EN: She found true happiness in helping others. 翻譯: 她在幫助他人的過程中找到了真正的幸福。
EN:It gives me great happiness to announce the winner.
翻譯:能宣布獲勝者，讓我感到非常高興。
總結建議
一般來說，描述源自某種活動的幸福感用 happiness of doing，而為某個具體行動感到高興則用 happiness to do。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Happiness"?Which "Happiness" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I feel a happiness.
✓I feel happiness.
"Happiness" 是不可數名詞，前面不加 "a" 或 "an"。
×I have many happinesses in my life.
✓I have many sources of happiness in my life.
"Happiness" 通常不可數，不直接加 "-es" 變複數。若要表達多個快樂的來源或時刻，應使用 "moments of happiness" 或 "sources of happiness"。
×I am in the happiness.
✓I am happy. / I am filled with happiness.
英文不說 "in the happiness" 來描述狀態。應使用形容詞 "happy" 或片語如 "filled with happiness"。
×The happiness of her is contagious.
✓Her happiness is contagious.
所有格應直接使用 "her happiness"，而不是 "the happiness of her"，後者聽起來不自然且冗長。
×Money can buy happiness.
✓Money can't buy happiness.
這是一個常見的慣用語錯誤。英文常見諺語是 "Money can't buy happiness"（金錢買不到幸福），用來強調幸福非物質可換。若想表達相反觀點，需明確說明是個人意見，例如 "Some people think money can buy happiness."
×I wish you a lot of happiness.
✓I wish you much happiness. / I wish you every happiness.
祝福他人時，雖然語意可通，但 "a lot of happiness" 較口語且不若 "much happiness" 或 "every happiness" 正式、優雅。後兩者是更常見的祝福用語。
