Enjoy
它的用法比较简单,凡是带有“享受到”的意思就可以用。反义词是suffer (from)。
经典用法是享有…声誉。在公司.单位英文介绍里可以说简直是不可或缺的一个词。
如:In Asia, Singapore is one of the few countries which enjoys a good reputation for corruption control.

顺便再说一句,好的用enjoy,不好的可用suffer。一想到灾难.甚至阿富汗.伊拉克什么的就应该想到suffer这个词。
再如:UN conference to study why women in war-torn States suffer justice shortage
Enjoy your time with Hawk!
Available
形容词,一般放到所修饰的词后面。凡句子中含有是“有…可以用到”的时候都可以考虑这个词。这个词关系到我们思维方式,而不是这个词用法有多复杂。反义词是unavailable.
1.对不起,没座了。
Chinglish: Sorry, we have no ats now.
Revision: Sorry, no ats available.
2.网站暂时无法访问。
Chinglish: This website can't be visited temporarily.

有时候尽管不是非用available/unavailable
Surpri
有人可能会说,这个词有什么了不起?选中这个词,完全就看重这个词包含的一种文化。西方人注重生活情调,特别看重带给朋友或家人的“惊喜”。

Revision :How to improve our English skills?

Revision:He has very good writing and translation skills.
现在追求技术的时代,skills也走俏。什么English skills, communications skills, computer skills, study skills, survival skills, writing skills...

This is my last offer to you. Take it or leave it.
如果谢绝别人的好意不能说refu,应该说decline an offer,其中 decline表示婉言拒绝或谢绝。
