1.delight指“喜悦”或“高兴”,多表示突然、短暂的喜悦; pleasure指“愉快”,是一般交际性的礼貌用语,还可指外界对头脑或感官刺激而引起的快感; joy指“欢乐”或“愉快”,有时可替代delight和pleasure。例如:

She grinned her delight.她露齿一笑表示高兴。

I have the pleasure of presenting our opening speaker.我很荣幸地介绍一下我们的开场发言人。

A smile often denotes pleasure.微笑常常是愉快的表示。

fun普通用词，指任何能给予喜悦的娱乐，或指娱乐本身。
