Pleasant x pleasurable

 

Dobrý den,
jaký je prosím rozdíl mezi těmito slovy?
Měla jsem větu:
The point that they were there to discuss is that things that are ---- and make us feel good have a positive effect on our health.

napsala jsem pleasant, ale má být pleasurable – oboje je příjemné

Děkuji za odpověď.

Ještě podobný problém:
Pleasure,… and love, including eating things that are generally considered bad for you, keep our immune systems strong and treferore improve our health.

– napsala jsem laughing, ale má být laughter – jaký je mezi nimi rozdíl?
Ještě jednou děkuji.

Something which is pleasurable actively GIVES you pleasure – it has to do with your senses.
Something which is pleasant is something which is nice, but it doesn't necessarily give you pleasure.

„Pleasant“ is a very neutral adjective. It means that something is nice or perfectly acceptable, but it's nothing extraordinary.

„That was a pleasant way to spend the afternoon“ is a nice way of saying that the afternoon was nice, but you actually might have been a bit bored. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't something you're going to remember forever.

„That was a pleasurable way to spend the afternoon“ means that you were doing something that actively gave you pleasure – it was enjoyable, probably fun, it made you feel good.

Thank you very much. I can understand it. And what is the difference between: laughing and laughter?
