第二,地道表達(dá)
over the moon
1. 解詞釋義
Over the moon來(lái)自于美國(guó)的一首兒歌,用來(lái)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(yǔ)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(duì)都為贏得這場(chǎng)比賽而欣喜若狂。
e.g. The whole family were over the moon when Martin got a good job.
