Over the moon
太高興了, 太逮了, 極為愉快
起源:
這個短語起源于一首16世紀家喻戶曉的兒歌‘Hey Diddle Diddl'(最初寫做‘High Diddle Diddl')。童謠本身并沒什么意義,但它是這樣的朗朗上口……
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon!
例句:
比如你想夸一下房東做的巧克力蛋糕好吃,你可以說
The chocolate cake you made is so tasty; I am totally over the moon.
例如得到一輛新車讓他高興壞了
He was over the moon about/with his new car.
再比如表達你收到男朋友送花時候的欣喜若狂的心情,可以說
When I received flowers and a note from my boyfriend yesterday, I was over the moon.
這門課你考試得了個A,太高興了。
