- joy
Used here as a transitive verb meaning to make someone feel happy; the subject is the cause, not the person feeling happy. Fairly uncommon and somewhat literary compared to its noun use.
此处作及物动词，表示使某人感到快乐；主语是原因而非感到高兴的人。这种动词用法不太常见，比其常见的名词用法更显文学化。
Watching the children play brought her great joy.
看着孩子们玩耍给她带来了极大的快乐。
- rejoice 本词
An intransitive verb meaning to feel or show great happiness openly, often together with others; stronger and more formal, typically used for big news, victories, or celebrations.
不及物动词，表示明显地感到或表现出极大的高兴，常常是与他人一同表现出来；语气更强烈、更正式，常用于重大消息、胜利或庆祝场合。
The whole town rejoiced when the team won the championship.
当球队赢得冠军时，全镇的人都欢庆起来。
Joy and rejoice both relate to feeling happy, used here as verbs. Joy, uncommon and literary, means to make someone happy; the subject causes it. Rejoice means to feel or show happiness openly, and is stronger, more formal. Joy as a noun is not compared.
两词都表示因某事而高兴，但 joy 常用于使役结构（某事使某人高兴），语气平实；rejoice 是不及物动词，指发自内心地为某事欢欣庆祝，语气更强烈、更正式，常用于重大好消息或庆典场合。不比较 joy 用作名词表示“喜悦”这一常见用法。
