It is a pleasure to talk with you.与你谈话是一件乐事.
【拓展】pleased 形容词,意为“高兴的,满意的”;pleasant 形容词意为“使人高兴的,讨人喜欢的”.

不及物动词,意为“留下,剩余;保持不变”.
①表示“留下”“逗留”,特指在他人走后留下.例如:

②表示“尚待”“留待”,后面接被动语态的动词不定式.例如:

名师讲坛
一般过去时的被动语态
(一)构成:主语+was/were动词的过去分词.例如:
The TV was invented in 1927.电视于1927年被发明.
(二)将一般过去时的主动语态变为被动语态时需要注意以下三个方面:
1.将主动语态的宾语改为被动语态的主语;
2.将主动语态的谓语动词改为”was/were+过去分词”结构;
3.将主动语态的主语改为介词by之后的宾语,放在谓语动词之后(有时可以省略).例如:
They built a school in our hometown.他们在我们家乡建了一所学校.(改为被动语态)→A school was built(by them) in our hometown.
