释义
v.
To take pleasure in something or in doing something
享受，喜爱（做某事）
v.
To have the benefit of something good (e.g. good health, a right)
享有（健康、权利等好处）
词根拆分
词根派生en-（使进入）+ joy = 让自己进入喜悦，即享受某事。前缀把名词 joy 变成了「去感受这份喜悦」的动作。从「享受一顿饭」这种个人含义，又引申出「享有」——enjoy good health（享有健康）、enjoy a right（享有权利）。
词根 joy 还连着 6 个词使用指南
enjoy 必须带宾语 —— 不能只说 I enjoyed。后接名词（enjoy the film）或动名词（enjoy swimming），绝不接动词不定式（enjoy to swim 是错的）。Enjoy yourself 是固定说法，意为「玩得开心」。
