　　1. 解詞釋義

　　Over the moon來自于美國的一首兒歌，用來形容人們“興高采烈”的心情。到了上世紀(jì)70年代，它用于體育賽事，指比賽贏了“欣喜若狂”的樣子，相當(dāng)于“absolutely delighted”或“ecstatic”。表示因……而欣喜如狂，在短語的后面用介詞at，即：be over the moon at doing sth./sth.。

　　2. 拓展范例

　　e.g. The whole team were over the moon at winning the competition.

　　全隊都為贏得這場比賽而欣喜若狂。

　　e.g. The whole family were over the moon when Martin got a good job.

　　當(dāng)馬丁找到一份好工作時，全家高興極了。

　　e.g. She was over the moon when she heard that her son had passed the examination.

　　e.g. It was two weeks after I married your mother. We were living in a tiny apartment and wehad no idea how we were going to afford a family. So when I heard I was being promoted tosales manager, I was just over the moon.

　　當(dāng)時我娶你媽媽剛剛兩個星期，我們住在一個小小的公寓里，不知道怎么能養(yǎng)得起孩子。因此，當(dāng)我聽說自己被提升為銷售經(jīng)理時，簡直高興極了。

　　e.g. You can imagine how nervous I was when I finally told her how I felt. I didn't know what toexpect. She could have gotten angry or acted like I was joking or even felt sorry for me. But,when she said she felt the same way, I was just over the moon.
