[正] It gives me much pleasure to accept your invitation.

. I have much pleasure in accepting your invitation.

. I take great pleasure in accepting your invitation.

注：take great pleasure=greatly enjoy. 如說 have the pleasure 則后不接 in 而接 of，如 I have the pleasure of accepting your invitation.也是通的，不過此種語法多用于下類句中：May I have the pleasure of taking a glass of wine with you? I once had the pleasure of being introduced to you. I am sorry I cannot have the pleasure of accompanying you today. I hope you will give me the pleasure of dining with me at 8 o\'clock tomorrow evening at my place. There are many famous men whom I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting so far.
