Postscript.1：enjoying themselves是enjoy oneself的变体。意思为“自得其乐、过得愉快”
For example：Did you enjoy yourself of the party?（你在party玩的开心吗？）
Postscript.2：After后面是不能接动词的。所以必须用动词的ing形式（动名词）。
扩充资料：After后面跟的是介词宾语（通常来说，介词必须要有自己的宾语）。而After后面跟的必须是名词或者是名词性结构的词。通常来说在没有适合的名词时用动名词可替代名词使用，有适合的名词的话就不用动名词
Postscript.3：Finish后面接的是动词的ing形式，固定搭配是finish doing。没有finish to do sth。只有finish doing sth。从词性来理解。finish是完成的意思。后面自然是加被完成的事情或者项目了，而to do的意思是需要做什么，是还没做的意思。所以二者是不能搭配使用的。
