   俗话说,人生有四大喜事——久旱逢甘露,他乡遇故知,洞房花烛夜,金榜题名时。今天,我们就来看一下,如何用一种文艺的方式来描述这四大喜事吧。


  在口语中,walking on air可以用来表达“十分快乐”的意思。注意这里用的介词是on,而不是in,另外,冠词the也省掉了。现在我们就来用这个短语来描述一下“久旱逢甘露”之喜——
  The farmer was walking on air seeing the rain fall after the long drought.
  (这位农民在漫长的干旱之后终于迎来了第一场雨,他因此欣喜若狂。)
  类似的,floating on air也可以用来表达内心的狂喜之情。现在我们就来看看怎么用它来描述“他乡遇故知”之喜吧——
  I was floating on air when I met with my best friend in a town far from home.
  (当我在异乡巧遇好友,内心的喜悦无以复加。)
  当我们内心欣喜若狂,内心不免飘飘然,所以有许多表达内心快乐的短语都是与“飞上天”有关的。再比如over the moon (月亮之上),也可以用来表达“欣喜若狂”之意。《月亮之上》这首歌大家也许都听说过,今天呢,我们又学习“月亮之上”的一个新意思——“欣喜若狂”!现在,我们就来用这个短语来描述一下“洞房花烛夜”之喜吧——
  I was over the moon when my love proposed to me.
  (当我的爱人向我求婚,我内心欣喜若狂。)
  再比如,happy as a lark 1也可以用来表达“十分快乐”的意思。lark是云雀的意思,happy as a lark也就是“像云雀一样快乐”。那么现在我们就来描述一下“金榜题名时”之喜吧——
  I was happy as a lark when I got my admission letter.
  (当我收到录取通知书的时候,内心难以抑制欢欣雀跃之情。)
  好啦,这就是我们今天学习的四个短语——用文艺的方式来说“欣喜若狂”。你学会了吗?^_^

n.云雀,百灵鸟;n.嬉戏,玩笑;vi.嬉戏
  • He thinks it cruel to confine a lark in a cage.他认为把云雀关在笼子里太残忍了。
  • She lived in the village with her grandparents as cheerful as a lark.她同祖父母一起住在乡间非常快活。
